Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
My memory takes me to The wonderful nights we knew When I made love to you until the dawn. You left and to my surprise I'm laughing with tear dimmed eyes Because I realise I can't go on my darling. With the parting of the ways You took all my happy days And left me lonely nights. Morning never comes too soon I can face the afternoon But oh, those lonely nights. I feel your arms around me, Your kisses linger yet, You taught me how to love you, Now teach me to forget! You broke my heart a million ways When you took my happy days And left me lonely nights. The beautiful month of May Without you is sad and grey, Oh, how I hate the day, I let you go. I find that my happiness, Depends on your sweet caress I thought I loved you less, But now I know, my darling. With the parting of the ways You took all my happy days And left me lonely nights. Morning never comes too soon I can face the afternoon But oh, those lonely nights. I feel your arms around me, Your kisses linger yet, You taught me how to love you, Now teach me to forget! You broke my heart a million ways When you took my happy days And left me lonely nights.
