Gone is the romance and broken the vow
We used to be sweethearts but what are we now?
Happy-go-lucky you and broken-hearted me
Man in the moon is sad as can be
He looks down from heaven and what does he see?
Happy-go-lucky you and broken-hearted me
You go to parties, you have your fling
I hope you’ll never regret
You go to parties to dance and sing
I do the same to forget.
And when I look at a couple in love
I watch them with envy and keep thinking of
Happy-go-lucky you and broken-hearted me.
