Happy Days and Lonely Nights 1928

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 31 May 2002

My memory takes me to
the wonderful nights we knew,
when I made love to you until the dawn.
You left and to my surprise,
I'm laughing with tear~dimmed eyes,
I'm feeling so alone,
I can't go on, my darling

With the parting of the ways,
you took all my happy days,
and left me lonely nights.
Morning never comes too soon,
I can face the afternoon,
but oh, those lonely nights.
I feel your arms around me,
your kisses linger yet,
you taught me how to love you,
now teach me to forget!
You broke my heart a million ways,
when you took my happy days,
and left me lonely nights.

With the parting of the ways,
you took all my happy days,
and left me lonely nights.
Morning never comes too soon,
I can face the afternoon,
but oh, those lonely nights.
I feel your arms around me,
your kisses linger yet,
you taught me how to love you,
now teach me to forget!
You broke my heart a million ways,
when you took my happy days
and left me lonely nights.

The beautiful month of May,
without you is sad and grey;
Oh, how I hate the day I let you go.
I find that my happiness,
depends on your sweet caress,
I thought I lov'd you less,
But now I know, My Darling:

With the parting of the ways,
you took all my happy days,
and left me lonely nights.
Morning never comes too soon,
I can face the afternoon,
but oh, those lonely nights.
I feel your arms around me,
your kisses linger yet,
you taught me how to love you,
now teach me to forget!
You broke my heart a million ways,
when you took my happy days,
and left me lonely nights.

With the parting of the ways,
you took all my happy days,
and left me lonely nights.
Morning never comes too soon,
I can face the afternoon,
but oh, those lonely nights.
I feel your arms around me,
your kisses linger yet,
you taught me how to love you,
now teach me to forget!
You broke my heart a million ways,
when you took my happy days
and left me lonely nights.
