Night winds, cold and melancholy
Wave a blue finale for my tragedy
Life's a misery meant only for me
While I linger, weary, 'neath a willow tree

Right here our romance was started
Here again, we parted when I set you free
All my thoughts are jumbled, everything is blurred
All the world has crumbled, shattered by word

The end has come, my heart is numb
'Twas like a bolt from the blue above
I can't believe it but you're gone, darling
And here lies love

The sky is dark and I hear a lark
He sounds as sad as a mournful dove
The dew appears like the tears of dawn, darling
And here lies love

All my dreams lost beyond recall
Dreams of spring blasted by the fall
You gave lips, you gave arms
I gave all

I ought to cry, my eyes are dry
There's only one thing I'm conscious of
I only know that I can't go on, darling
For here lies love
All my dreams lost beyond recall
Dreams of spring blasted in the fall
You gave lips, you gave arms
I gave all

I ought to cry, my eyes are dry
There's only one thing I'm conscious of
I only know that I can't go on, darling
For here lies love
