LONG AND LONELY NIGHTS

(Jocko Henderson / Lee Andrews / Bernice Davis / Mimi Uniman (m & l) 1957)

Kitty Kallen 1957

Title for these lyrics also known as ‘LONG LONELY NIGHTS’

Long, long and lonely nights
I cry my eyes out over you
Wonderin’ if I did right
And why you left me with a broken heart.

Oh, long, long and lonely nights
Oh, how I miss you my dear
Please, please, come back to me
How I wish you were here.

As I go along my lonely way
I visualize your face
When I pass through my doorway
What's left for me to face.

Oh oh oh, long, long and lonely nights
I guess you're never coming home
Long, long and lonely nights
Ever since you've been gone.

Please, please, come back to me
You've been gone too long.
