As recorded by KATE SMITH:

My life was rosy as a lovely summer dawn
It's very different since the one I love has gone

Haven't seen a sunny day
Ever since he went away
Wonder when my baby's comin' home

Haven't slept a wink at night
Just worrying if he's all right
Wonder when my baby's comin' home
 
Oh, I really can't help cryin'
I'm so hungry for his caress
Though I promised I wouldn't be cryin'
I'm not brave enough, I guess

Home will be a lonely place
Till I kiss that funny little face
Wonder when my baby's comin' home
I  wonder when my baby's comin' home
