Outside the bright Sun is shining Outside the red roses bloom Inside my poor heart is pining Inside there's nothing but blue I knew I'd miss your smile And miss your kisses for awhile But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue I knew that summer nights Would never hold the same delights But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue Both sleeping and waking My poor heart is aching You know, dear, it's breaking for you I'll be in Heaven when I hold you in my arms again But until then I'll just be oh, so blue Most every night I go strolling Down through the old lovers' lane One thought is sometimes consoling Maybe we'll stroll there again I knew I'd miss your smile And miss your kisses for awhile But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue I knew that summer nights Would never hold the same delights But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue Both sleeping and waking My poor heart is aching You know, dear, it's breaking for you I'll be in Heaven when I hold you in my arms again But until then I'll just be oh, so blue
