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)
