Bill Monroe

The days are long the night are lonely
Since you left me all alone
I want you so, my little darling
I've worried so, since you've been gone

Sweetheart of mine can't you hear me calling
A million times that I love you best
I mistreated you,darling, I'm sorry
Come back to me is my request

I remember, dear the night we parted
A big mistake has caused it all
If you return, sunshine will follow
If you stay away, 'twill be my fall

* Refrain

The nights are long my little darling
Oh, how I need your sweet embrace
When I awoke, the sun was shining
When I looked up I saw your face

* Refrain
