No moon, no stars, no dawn
Nothing to see, nothing to say
Now that you're gone
I just can't carry on
Where will I go, where will I stay
Now that you're gone
I'm standing by the river,
Where it flows down to the sea
Old river seems to be
Saying this to me
No sun, no song, no dawn
No one to love, no one to care
Now that you're gone

Opening verse as recorded by RUTH ETTING and BING CROSBY:
Man/Girl of mine you're gone from me
Man/Girl of mine, no more I'll see you
What's the good of day or night
What's the good of wrong or right
Man/Girl of mine, you left the darkness all around me
Man/Girl of mine, you went and took away the light
