Outside the bright Sun is shining
Outside the red roses bloom
Inside my poor heart is pining
Inside there's nothing but blue

I knew I'd miss your smile 
And miss your kisses for awhile
But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue

I knew that summer nights
Would never hold the same delights
But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue

Both sleeping and waking
My poor heart is aching
You know, dear, it's breaking for you

I'll be in Heaven when 
I hold you in my arms again
But until then I'll just be oh, so blue

Most every night I go strolling
Down through the old lovers' lane
One thought is sometimes consoling
Maybe we'll stroll there again

I knew I'd miss your smile 
And miss your kisses for awhile
But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue

I knew that summer nights
Would never hold the same delights
But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue

Both sleeping and waking
My poor heart is aching
You know, dear, it's breaking for you

I'll be in Heaven when 
I hold you in my arms again
But until then I'll just be oh, so blue
