When |
| When the days of wine are gone |
| And all the nights are long |
| Then all my thoughts run on to you |
| |
| When the lonely silence calls |
| When I walk through empty halls |
| Then all my thoughts run on to you |
| |
| And when they linger for a while |
| You come and touch me with your tender smile |
| |
| And when your love was all my world |
| My days, my life – you were |
| Then all the songs were songs of you |
| |
| I tasted well of sweet success |
| Nothing touched me that was second best |
| |
| Oh, but then I turned and you were gone |
| To someone else's song |
| And now I'm going back to when |
| I loved you now and then |
| |
| When the story now is told |
| And all my love unfolds |
| I've lost my very soul to you |
| |
| Your love was written in the sky |
| But at the time, I never looked so high |
| |
| Darlin', when will you come back to me? |
| Release me, set me free |
| When? Oh... when? |
