 With reveries of days gone by
 In my solitude you taunt me
 With memories that never die I sit in my chair 
Filled with despair
 There&no one could be so sad 
With gloom everywhere
 I sit and I stare
I know that I&soon go mad In my solitude
 I&praying
 Dear Lord above
 Send back my love I sit in my chair
 Filled with despair
 There&no one could be so sad
 With gloom everywhere
 I sit and I stare 
I know that I&soon go mad In my solitude
 I&praying
 Dear Lord above
 Send me back my love
