G D
My heart is longing for you, dear
G D
I cared for you more than you knew

Though you have broken each promise
E A A7 A
And yesterday's dreams are untrue
[Bridge]
D G D
Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
G D
When sunshine brings mem'ries of you

My sunshine will turn into sorrow
A D
As I dream of the love you once knew
[Chorus]

Why should I always be lonely?
G D
When sunny and blue are the skies
G D
While shadows and loneliness linger
A D
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes
[Interlude]
