Sweet, sweet were the lips that kissed me 

Warm, warm were the arms that held me 

Sweet, sweet were the lips, yeah 

Warm, warm were the arms 

But so, so filled with the love you gave me 

Wet, wet were the tears on my face 

Long, long were the hours I cried them 

Wet, wet were the tears, yeah 

Long, long were the hours 

But so, so filled with the love you gave me 

My friends tried to tell me 

That mis'ry would a-happen to me 

But back in school I didn't believe 

That misery and pain a-would-a ever get to me, oh 

Since, since you've been gone, gone away 

I cry, cry lonely teardrops night and day 

Since, since you've been gone, yeah 

I cry, I cry lonely teardrops 

All so, so filled with the love you gave me 

Sweet, sweet were the lips that kissed me 

Warm, warm were the arms that held me...
