"What CD is this Darin song on?"

      The sky was blue
      And high above
      The moon was new
      And so was love
      This eager heart of mine was singin'
      Lover, where can you be?

      You came at last
      Love had its day
      That day is past
      You've gone away
      This achin’ heart of mine is singin'
      Lover, come back to me.

      When I remember every little thing
      You used to do
      I'm so lonely
      Every road I walked along
      I walked along with you
      No wonder I am lonely.

      The sky is blue
      The night is cold
      The moon is new
      But, love is old
      And while I'm waitin’ here
      This heart of mine is singin'
      Lover, come back to me.

      When I remember every little thing
      You used to do
      Honey, I get oh, so lonely
      Every road I walked along
      I walked along with you
      Ain't no wonder I am lonely.

      The sky is blue
      The night is cold
      The moon is new
      But, love is old
      And while I'm waitin’ here
      This heart of mine is singin'
      Lover, come back …
      Lover, come back …
      Lover, come back to me.

      Lover, come back …
      Lover, come back …
      Lover, come back to me.

      Lover, come on back …
      Lover, come on back …
      Lover, come on back to me.

      Come on back to me girl ...
      Come on back girl ...
      Lover, come back to me.
