Lyrics:

1973
Songwriters: Bob Wills

The song bird yearns to sing a love song
The roses yearn just for the dew
The whole world's yearning for the sunshine
I have a yearning too
Yearning just for you, that's all I do my dear
Learning why I'm blue, I wish that you were near
Smiles have turned to tears, days have turned to years
Yearning just for you, I hope that you yearn too (oh-haw)
Smiles have turned to tears, days have turned to years
Yearning just for you, I hope that you yearn too (yes, yearn too)
