Lyrics
- 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 realize
I can’t go on, my darling
Chorus
With the 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 oh, 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
- The beautiful month of May
Without you is sad and gray
Oh, how I hate the day I let you go
I find that my happiness
Depends on your sweet caress
I though I loved you less
But now I know, my darling
