Since You Went Away 1915

This world seems nothing but sorrow
I'm wearing my poor heart away,
I hate to think of tomorrow,
to think it is another day.
Another day of sighing,
another day of woe;
Just a line while I'm crying
Honey to let you know.

Since you went away, dear,
ev'rything is all wrong;
since you went away, dear
all the birds changed their song,
You were my treasure
but honey, since you're not mine;
There is no pleasure
and the sun don't shine;
at night you haunt me
please say you want me,
I want you more ev'ry day
since you went away.

Since you went away, dear,
ev'rything is all wrong;
since you went away, dear
all the birds changed their song,
You were my treasure
but honey, since you're not mine;
There is no pleasure
and the sun don't shine;
at night you haunt me
please say you want me,
I want you more ev'ry day
since you went away.

If you but knew how it grieved me
my dearie, since you've been away,
I never thought you would leave me,
I'm longing for you night and day;
Come back dear,
I'll forgive you
although you broke my heart;
You don't know what I've lived through,
since we have been apart.

Since you went away, dear,
ev'rything is all wrong;
since you went away, dear
all the birds changed their song,
You were my treasure
but honey, since you're not mine;
There is no pleasure
and the sun don't shine;
at night you haunt me
please say you want me,
I want you more ev'ry day
since you went away.

Since you went away, dear,
ev'rything is all wrong;
since you went away, dear
all the birds changed their song,
You were my treasure
but honey, since you're not mine;
There is no pleasure
and the sun don't shine;
at night you haunt me
please say you want me,
I want you more ev'ry day
since you went away.
