Wail a blue from holly
Oh, my tragedy
Like a misery meant for only 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
And everything is blurred
Oh, all the world has crumbled, shattered by a word

The end has come, my heart is numb
It was like a volt 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, for here lies love

All my dreams lost beyond recall
Dreams of spring blessed within 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, here lies love

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

I only know that I can't go on
Darling, for here lies love
