Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Worried and blue
All over you
Pleading for love, but in vain
How I’ve implored
Will my reward
Be only heartaches and pain
Chorus
Am I wasting my time
By thinking you’re mine
And dreaming the way that I do
Am I wasting the tears
I’ve cried all these years
Just wond’ring if your love is true
Will I lose in the end
And just be a friend
Please tell me it’s time that I knew
Will my heart have to pay
Will you send me away
Am I wasting my time on you
- Dear when you smile
Things are worth while
All that I’ve done is repaid
But when you frown
Gloom comes around
My dreams of love always fade
