As recorded by GUY MITCHELL:
(My heart cries for you)
(Sighs for you, dies for you)
(And my arms long for you)
(Please come back to me)
If you're in Arizona, I'll follow you
If you're in Minnesota, I'll be there too
You'll have a million chances to start anew
Because my love is endless for you
My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, dies for you
And my arms long for you
Please come back to me
An unimportant quarrel was what we had
We have to learn to live with the good and bad
Together we were happy, apart we're sad
This loneliness is driving me mad
My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, dies for you
And my arms long for you
Please come back to me
Please come back to me
Please come back, come back, come back to me

As recorded by CONNIE FRANCIS:
My darling, my heart cries for you
Sighs for you, just dies for you
My arms long for you
Please come back to me
An unimportant quarrel was what we had
We have to learn to live with the good and bad
To throw away a lifetime is all too sad
This loneliness is driving me mad
My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, just dies for you
My my arms long for you
Please come back to me
Forgetting you is one thing I just can't do
The memories keep comin' the whole night through
I'm not too proud to tell you I still love you
I'm hopin' that you feel that way too
My heart cries for you
Sighs for you, just dies for you
My arms long for you
Please come back to me
Please come back to me
(I cry for you)

The bloom has left the roses since you left me
The birds have left my window since you left me

I'm lonely as a human can be

Sighs for you, dies for you
And my arms long for you
