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
