Lyrics

It’s all be cause of you

I’m feel ing sad and blue.

You went a way.

Now my life is just a rain y day.

And I love you so,

how much you’ll nev er know.

You’ve gone a way and left me lone ly.

Un touch a ble mem o (D)ries seem to keep haunt ing me

of a love so true that once (Bm7)turned all my gray skies blue.

But you dis ap peared,

now my (A)eyes are filled with tears

and I’m (C#m7)wish ing (Bm7)you were (D)here with (A)me.

Soft with love (D)are my thoughts

of you.

Now that you’re gone, I just (E5)don’t know what to do.

If on ly (Bm7)you were here

you’d wash a way my tears.

The (C#m7)sun would shine and (E)once a gain you’d be (D)mine, oh (E)mine.

But in re al i ty

you and (Amaj7)I will nev er be,

’cause you (C#m7)took your (Bm7)love a (D)way from (A)me.

If on ly (Bm7)you were here

you’d wash a way my tears.

The (C#m7)sun would shine and (E)once a gain you’d be (D)mine, oh (E)mine.

But in re al i ty

you and (Amaj7)I will nev er be,

’cause you (C#m7)took your (Bm7)love a (D)way from (A)me.

If on ly (Bm7)you were here

you’d wash a way my tears.

The (E)sun would shine and once a gain you’d be (D)mine, oh (E)mine.

But in re al i ty

you and (Amaj7)I will nev er (Bm6)be,

’cause you (C#m7)took your (Bm7)love a (D)way from (F#m)me, (B)ah,

ba by.

You took your love a way from me.
