Lyrics
- Gone is the romance that was so divine
‘Tis broken and cannot be mended
You must go your way and I must go mine
But now that our love dreams have ended
Chorus
What’ll I do when you are far away
And I am blue, what’ll I do?
What’ll I do when I am wond’ring who
Is kissing you, what’ll I do?
What’ll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I’m alone with only dreams of you
That won’t come true, what’ll I do?
- Do you remember a night filled with bliss?
The moonlight was softly descending
Your lips and my lips were tied with a kiss
A kiss with an unhappy ending
