As I hear the mocking birds I remember the words
When you said that forever you'd love me
Now happiness is gone memories linger on
From the chains of our love I can't free

Sweet as the morning smile like the sunshine
Ours was a love no words could tell
I love you oh how I miss you
Won't you come back Lily Dale

Since we have said goodbye I'm so blue I could cry
Happiness is a thing called the past
Days without you make my nights oh so blue
And always in my heart our love will last
