Happy Days and Lonely Nights - Ruth Etting

My memory takes me to

The wonderful nights we knew

When I made love to you

Until the dawn

You left and to my surprise

I’m laughing with tear-dimmed eyes

Because I realized

I can’t go on, my darling

With a parting of the ways

You took all my happy days

And left me lonely nights

Morning never comes too soon

I can face the afternoon

But all those lonely nights

I feel your arms around me

Your kisses linger yet

You taught me how to love you

Now teach me to forget

You broke my heart a million ways

When you took my happy days

And left me lonely nights

I feel your arms around me

Your kisses linger yet

You taught me how, how to love you

Now teach me to forget

You broke my heart a million ways

When you took my happy, happy days

And left me lonely nights
