IT SEEMS LIKE AGES AND AGES AND YOU'VE ONLY BEEN GONE A DAY
(Kendis / Brockman,   1920)


Your voice I hear, you seem so near, 
Still you are far, far away, 
Time drags along, 
Everything's wrong 
As broken hearted I stray.

You'll always rest, close to my breast 
Echoed of love seem to sigh, 
Time can't erase 
Your smiling face, 
I keep on wondering why.

It seems like ages and ages, 
And you've only been gone a day,
The night shadows fall, 
With tears I recall, 
True love in a shack, how I wish you were back, 
The long and weary hours
Just wear my heart away 
It seems like ages and ages
And you've only been gone a day.
