Take Me Back 1913

Sweetheart, the day we parted
somehow I never knew,
you'd leave me brokenhearted,
pining away for you,
all that I really cared for,
all that I wanted near,
all that made life worth living
vanished with you, my dear.

Take me back,
won't you take me back,
ev'ry joy I knew
will return with you.
I'm so sad
you are all I had,
can't you hear
my broken heart calling you
take me back.

Sweetheart, since we've been parted
seems like a thousand years,
for ev'ry hour of gladness,
I've paid an hour of tears,
come back and make me happy,
why should we live apart,
come to my arms and answer,
the call of my broken heart.

Take me back,
won't you take me back,
ev'ry joy I knew
will return with you.
I'm so sad
you are all I had,
can't you hear
my broken heart calling you
take me back.
