Before I met you, everything was dreary
I passed my time from day to lifeless day
And then you came and filled my life with sunshine
And now you tell me that you're going away

Chorus:
Well, you know I'm broken hearted that you're leaving
I'm sorry too that I must stay behind
And no matter where you go, you'll know I'm grieving
And you'll know that you are always on my mind

I wish you wouldn't take the sunshine with you
I know it's going to follow you away
Is there nothing I can do to stop your going?
I wish that you would change your mind and stay

Chorus

Well, there's no use in pretending I won't miss you
The lonely days are coming from now on
I'll remember all the joys we shared together
And I hope you won't forget me when you're gone

Chorus
