Lyrics:
First verse
The roses each one, met with the sun, Sweetheart, when I met you, The sunshine had fled, The roses were dead, Sweetheart, when I lost you.
Chorus
I lost the sunshine and roses, I lost the heavens of blue I lost the beautiful rainbow, I lost the morning dew; I lost the angel who gave me Summer, the whole winter through, I lost the gladness that turned into sadness, When I lost you.
Second verse
The birds ceased their song, right turned to wrong, Sweetheart, when I lost you, A day turned to years, The world seem'd in tears, Sweetheart, when I lost you.
(Chorus)
