(Sweet) Sweet were the lips that kissed me
(Warm) Warm were the arms that held me
(Sweet) Sweet were the lips, yes
(Warm) warm were the arms
But cold, so cold was the love you gave me

(Wet) Wet were the tears on my face
(Long) Long were the hours I cried them
(Wet) Wet were the tears, yes
(Long) Long were the hours
But cold, so cold was the love you gave me

My friends tried to tell me
That that would a-happen to me
But like a fool, I didn't believe
That misery and pain a-would-a ever get to me, oh

(Since) Since you've been gone, gone away
(I cry) Cry lonely teardrops night and day
(Since) Since you've been gone, yes
(I cry) I cry lonely teardrops
But cold, so cold was the love you gave me

(Sweet) Sweet were the lips that kissed me
(Warm) Warm were the arms that held me
