We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
And snuggles her head on my chest
We start in to pet and that's when I get
Her talcum all over my vest

After I kinda straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
Once kiss then I continue again
Walkin' my baby back home

I don't know why
I love you like I do
I don't know why, but I do.

Where the blue of the night
Meets the gold of the day,
Someone waits for me.

And the gold of her hair
crowns the blue of her eyes
like a halo tenderly.

You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin'

Roy Turk

I'll get by
As long as I
Have you
Though there be rain
And darkness too
I'll not complain
I'll see it through

Are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
