Lyrics
- Hearts were true, and skies were blue
Until one sorry day
Then came a sigh, a last good bye
And each one went their own sweet way
He didn’t know, he’d miss her so
And life was not the same
And so he wrote, a little note
“Forgive and let’s be friends again”
Chorus
I’ve sighed and sighed and how I cried
I’ve oft’ times yearned, Honey Baby, to return
The days seem long, the world’s all wrong
I left you with the birds, the bees, and flowers
So don’t leave me in the ice and snow, pretty baby
Don’t you leave me in the ice and snow
- Never knew, how I loved you
I did not realize
Now all the while, I miss your smile
I miss the sunshine in your eyes
And since that day, I went away
I’ve missed your sympathy
Now on my knees, I ask you please
Oh, won’t you listen to my plea
