Ruth Etting — Happy Days and Lonely Nights lyrics

Lyrics

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
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
