You have come to say, dear,
that you're going away, dear.
Ev'ry lane must have its turn, I know.
I have prayed in vain, dear,
for you to remain, dear,
I'll be mighty lonesome when you go.
It seems such a short time
that we spent 'neath summer skies.
Long after you go,
you'll hear the echo of my sighs.

Some of these nights, dear,
you'll be so lonely,
some of these nights, dear,
you'll sigh and cry.
You'll wish my arms
they were clasped around you,
but I'll be gone, dear,
and you'll know why.
The other boys, dear,
may want to love you,
and other girls here
sigh for me too,
some of these long nights
you'll think it over
and wish that I were
back again with you.

Some of these nights, dear,
you'll be so lonely,
some of these nights, dear,
you'll sigh and cry.
You'll wish my arms
they were clasped around you,
but I'll be gone, dear,
and you'll know why.
The other boys, dear,
may want to love you,
and other girls here
sigh for me too,
some of these long nights
you'll think it over
and wish that I were
back again with you.

Long the days will seem, dear,
nights will bring me dreams, dear,
and I know each dream will be of you.
Still when I awake, dear,
how my heart will ache, dear,
ache because my dreams cannot come true.
If the whole wide world was mine
I'd give it up today,
just to call you mine again,
and just to hear you say.

Some of these nights, dear,
you'll be so lonely,
some of these nights, dear,
you'll sigh and cry.
You'll wish my arms
they were clasped around you,
but I'll be gone, dear,
and you'll know why.
The other boys, dear,
may want to love you,
and other girls here
sigh for me too,
some of these long nights
you'll think it over
and wish that I were
back again with you.

Some of these nights, dear,
you'll be so lonely,
some of these nights, dear,
you'll sigh and cry.
You'll wish my arms
they were clasped around you,
but I'll be gone, dear,
and you'll know why.
The other boys, dear,
may want to love you,
and other girls here
sigh for me too,
some of these long nights
you'll think it over
and wish that I were
back again with you.
