Ruth Etting
Happy Days and Lonely Nights
My memory takes me to
The wonderful nights we knew
When I made love to you
Until the dawn

You left and to my surprise
I'm laughing with tear-dimmed eyes
Because I realized
I can't go on, my darling

With a parting of the ways
You took all my happy days
And left me lonely nights

Morning never comes too soon
I can face the afternoon
But all those lonely nights

I feel your arms around me
Your kisses linger yet
You taught me how to love you
Now teach me to forget

You broke my heart a million ways
When you took my happy days
And left me lonely nights
[Guitar Solo]

I feel your arms around me
Your kisses linger yet
You taught me how, how to love you
Now teach me to forget

You broke my heart a million ways
When you took my happy, happy days
And left me lonely nights
