Faster
My heart is longing for you, love
I cared for you more then you knew
Though you have broken each promise
Yesterday’s dreams are untrue
Alone, I’ll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As a dream of the love you once knew
Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows and loneliness linger
I’m dreaming with tears in my eyes
Why did you promise me sweetheart
Never to leave me alone
Yesterday’s sunshine is faded
You’re love wasn’t true like my own
Alone, I’ll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As a dream of the love we once knew
Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows and loneliness linger
I’m dreaming with tears in my eyes
Jimmie Rodgers (September 8, 1897 – May 26, 1933)
