Oh, the days are dark and the nights are lonely Since you left me all alone I love you so, my little darlin'; I worry so, since you've been gone Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'? A million times: "I love you best." I mistreated you, Lord, an' I'm sorry Come back to me is my request I remember, dear, the night we parted A big mistake is what caused it all If you come back, sunshine will follow; To stay away, would be my fall Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'? A million times: "I love you best." I mistreated you, Lord, an' I'm sorry Come back to me is my request Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'? A million times: "I love you best." I mistreated you, Lord, an' I'm sorry Come back to me is my request
