Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I said goodbye to you with head unbowed
I couldn’t cry for you, I was too proud
I said I’m through with you, so unconcerned
No more to do with you, but I’ve returned
Chorus
I’m here under your window
A miserable beggar begging for love
All of my skies are grey since we parted
Don’t send me away empty hearted
So humbly I stand my heart in my hand
Just begging for love
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
