Lyrics

  1. Outside the bright sun is shining
    Outside the red roses bloom
    Inside my poor heart is pining
    Inside there’s nothing but gloom

Chorus
I knew I’d miss your smile
And miss your kisses, for a while
But never knew
That I’d be oh! so blue
I knew that summer nights
Would never hold the same delights
But never knew
That I’d be oh! so blue
Both sleeping, and waking
My poor heart is aching
You know, dear, it’s breaking for you
I’ll be in Heaven when
I hold you in my arms again
But until then
I’ll just be oh! so blue

  1. Most every night I go strolling
    Down through the old lover’s lane
    One thought is sometimes consoling
    Maybe we’ll stroll there again
