Lyrics
- I can tell by almost ev’rything you do
That our romance is through
If it’s true that you and I must part some day
Listen while I say, dear
Chorus
Who’ll be the one
In your heart when I’m gone?
Who will share each sigh and care?
Who’ll take my place when you need sympathy?
That’s the time you’ll think of me
When nights are long and dreams are ended
Will things turn out as you intended?
I wonder who’ll know the charms
Of you wonderful arms?
Tell me who, who’ll be the one?
- When the things that you have planned
Go back on you
I wonder what you’ll do?
Maybe then you’ll think of happy days we knew
Days when skies were blue, dear
