Oh, the days are dark and the nights are lonely
Since you left me all alone
I love you so, my little darlin';
I worry so, since you've been gone
Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'?
A million times: "I love you best"
I mistreated you, Lord, an' I'm sorry
Come back to me is my request
--- Instrumental ---
I remember, dear, the night we parted
A big mistake is what caused it all
If you come back, sunshine will follow;
To stay away, would be my fall
Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'?
A million times: "I love you best"
I mistreated you, Lord, an' I'm sorry
Come back to me is my request
--- Instrumental ---
Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'?
A million times: "I love you best"
I mistreated you, Lord, an' I'm sorry
Come back to me is my request
