You were my bright star in the sky, You were my sun with everlasting light, Now nothing seems to be going right, Since you went away. To me all things are going wrong, To me each day's increasing long, The love birds have forgot their song, Since you went away. The sky is now no longer blue, My eyes shed tears when I think of you, And now, I don't know what to do, Since you went away.
