Away From You (12-20-38) - Louis Jordan

It made me cry

To say good-bye

I’m sad and blue;

Now that you’ve gone

I can’t go on

Away from you

I smile to hide

The tears inside

It’s hard to do;

My happiness

My life’s success

Depends on you

The hours seem long

The world goes wrong

When we’re apart;

My skies are gray

What can I say

To soothe my heart?

It is the end;

I can’t pretend

That I’m not blue;

Oh, can’t you see

Life’s misery

Away from you!

The hours are long

The world goes wrong

When we’re apart;

My skies are gray

What can I say

To soothe my heart?

It is the end;

I can’t pretend

That I’m not blue;

Oh, can’t you see

Life’s misery

Away from you!

Away from you!
