Lyrics

  1. Sorrow, there’s no tomorrow
    Everything worth while has gone
    May days have turned to dark ways
    My heart went dead at what you said to me

Chorus
You told me to go, I don’t know why
And you’ll never know, it’s making me cry
Just like an old glove that’s faded and torn
I’m cast aside and I’m heartsick and worn
I’m leaving today, I’m sad and blue
Won’t stand in your way, there’s somebody new
“Through with me?”, I was dazed when you said it
A book’s no good when once you have read it
Goodbye, Dear, you told me to go

  1. Sighing, there’s no denying
    Things you’ve done I can’t forget
    Each tear has added one year
    My one regret I ever met with you
