Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness


Every day I bring from this
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
My happiness


* A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then


** Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness


* Repeat


** Repeat
