as recorded by Kay Starr

I'm alone because I love you,
Love you with all o' my heart!
I'm alone because I had to be true,
Sorry, I can't say the same about you!

Yesterday's kisses are bringing me pain,
Yesterday's sunshine has turned into rain,
And I'm alone because I love you,
Love you with all o' my heart!

Yesterday's kisses are bringin' me pain,
Yesterday's sunshine has turned right into rain,
And I'm alone because I love you,
Love you with all my heart,
I love you with all my heart!
