(Both)
I haven’t seen you since we drifted apart
And I’ll confess that it’s been breaking my heart

(Jack)
My arms are yearning to hold you tight
My lips are burning to kiss you tonight 

(Both)
I’m roaming in the gloaming looking for you

Jack)
Hoping that you are looking for me too

(Both)
The happy nightingales are singing above
Singing a love song you and I once knew

(Jack)
Maybe I’m a fool to go on searching in vain

(Jill)
Maybe I am not for someday we’ll meet again

(Both)
I can’t believe my dream of love won’t come true
That’s why I’m roaming in the gloaming looking for you

(Jill)
I’m roaming in the gloaming looking for you
Hoping that you are looking for me too
The happy nightingales are singing above
Singing a love song you and I once knew

(Jack)
Maybe I’m a fool to go on searching in vain
Maybe I am not for someday we’ll meet again

(Both)
I can’t believe my dream of love won’t come true
That’s why I’m roaming in the gloaming looking for you.
