When |
When the days of wine are gone |
And all the nights are long |
Then all my thoughts run on to you |
|
When the lonely silence calls |
When I walk through empty halls |
Then all my thoughts run on to you |
|
And when they linger for a while |
You come and touch me with your tender smile |
|
And when your love was all my world |
My days, my life – you were |
Then all the songs were songs of you |
|
I tasted well of sweet success |
Nothing touched me that was second best |
|
Oh, but then I turned and you were gone |
To someone else's song |
And now I'm going back to when |
I loved you now and then |
|
When the story now is told |
And all my love unfolds |
I've lost my very soul to you |
|
Your love was written in the sky |
But at the time, I never looked so high |
|
Darlin', when will you come back to me? |
Release me, set me free |
When? Oh... when? |
