My baby I know that you want me
Each lonely night and day
Your deep blue eyes how they haunt me
Though you're far away
Oh why did she take you away from my arms
And leave nothing to cherish there
She's left me so blue but when she took you too
It seems more than I could bear
My baby I want you tonight dear
After my work is through
To rock you to sleep in my arms dear
And sing lullaby's to you
I dream of your baby caresses
Dimples and golden hair
And reach out to clasp you in my arms
To find only emptiness there
Your future has been the chief thing in my life
You'll never know what it means
My plans and my schemes are all blasted it seems
For you are my only embrace
