The sun is gone, the moon is here,
the stars are shining through.
But every night when I see that moon,
it makes me think of you.
Now why don't you come back to me?
Why did you ever roam, dear,
since you left me?
I'm heartbroken, sad and alone
Dear, why don't you come back to me?
I promise I'll always be true
For there is no face can take your place
But my dear little you,
Ailee, old lady, old lady, old lady do.
Since you have gone away from him,
I'm lonely as can be.
What can I do, I think of you,
I'm blue as I can be
Now why don't you come back to me?
Why did you ever go, dear,
since you left me?
I'm heartbroken, sad and alone
Dear, won't you come back to me?
I promise I'll always be true
For there is no face can take your place
But my dear little you, oh, little lady,
oh, little do, oh, little lady do.
