Lyrics
Oh I’m lonely and left with tears and sorrow
I can’t face tomorrow since my love has gone
She’s left me, left me for another and my heart went with her
How can I go on
Was our love a game played for a day
Were you pretending two hearts gone astray
Am I to blame for this unhappy ending
Nothing else is left me but a memory
Beloved how I long to hold you in my arms enfold you
Live again our happiness but now I must face tomorrow alone
Since my love has gone
