James Weldon Johnson
Since You Went Away
Seems lak to me de stars don't shine so bright
Seems lak to me de sun done loss his light
Seems lak to me der's nothin' goin' right
Sence you went away
Seems lak to me de sky ain't half so blue
Seems lak to me dat ev'ything wants you
Seems lak to me I don't know what to do
Sence you went away
Seems lak to me dat ev'ything is wrong
Seems lak to me de day's jes twice as long
Seems lak to me de bird's forgot his song
Sence you went away
Seems lak to me I jes can't he'p but sigh
Seems lak to me ma th'oat keeps gittin' dry
Seems lak to me a tear stays in my eye
Sence you went away
