Lover, Come Back To Me

Lover, Come Back To Me

music by Sigmund Romberg (middle)
lyric by Oscar Hammerstein II (top)

The sky was blue, and, high above, the moon was new, and so was love.

This eager heart of mine was singing:

"Lover, where can you be?"

You came at last, love had its day.

That day is past, you've gone away.

This aching heart of mine is singing:

"Lover, come back to me!"

Rememb'ring every little thing you used to say and do,

I'm so lonely.

Every road I walked along I've walked along with you---

No wonder I am lonely!

The sky is blue, the night is cold.

The moon is new, and love is old.

And while I'm waiting here this heart of mine is singing:

"Lover, come back to me!"
