Yearning 1925

A song bird yearns to sing a love song
the roses yearn just for the dew.
The whole world's yearning for the sunshine
I have a yearning too.

Yearning just for you
that's all I do my dear
Learning why I'm blue
I wish that you were near
smiles have turned to tears
days have turned to years
Yearning just for you
I hope you're yearning too.

Yearning just for you
that's all I do my dear
Learning why I'm blue
I wish that you were near
smiles have turned to tears
days have turned to years
Yearning just for you
I hope you're yearning too.

When shadows fall and stars are beaming
'tis then I miss you most of all
I go to sleep and start in dreaming
It seems I hear you call.

Yearning just for you
that's all I do my dear
Learning why I'm blue
I wish that you were near
smiles have turned to tears
days have turned to years
Yearning just for you
I hope you're yearning too.

Yearning just for you
that's all I do my dear
Learning why I'm blue
I wish that you were near
smiles have turned to tears
days have turned to years
Yearning just for you
I hope you're yearning too.
