Lyrics

1. In your smiling eyes, I see paradise
   When you’re close to my heart
   Never thought I could
   Never dreamed I would
   Miss you when we’re apart
   Maybe you’ve doubted me too
   Here’s how I feel about you

Chorus:
When you’re gone, I wander on
To all the world I’m like a stranger
And I’m so forlorn
When you’re with somebody else
Each night and day, the skies are gray
The birds, the bees, the trees
The summer breezes, fade away
When you’re with somebody else
It’s hard to care, and have to share
The love that I’ve known
Oh can’t you see
I want you all for my own
I know that love’s a game
So who’s to blame?
I hope, and pray and keep on wondering
If you feel the same
When you’re with somebody else

2. All the world’s in tune
   When I know that soon
   You’ll be close by my side
   Then when you are near
   Life is oh! so dear
   I am beaming with pride
   You’ll never know how I grieve
   Right from the moment you leave
