Why oh why such a sad sigh
She woke up this morning with a tear in her eye
Her boy was gone he was on the run
Rolling down the road in search of a song
Chorus
So send him a letter from your heart
Tell him that you miss him since you've been apart
Send him a letter and drag him back to your heart
The sun went down all around
She's standing on the corner of this dirty old town
Feeling lost, double crossed
Her heart is dull and empty covered over with frost
Chorus
It's a different story by the light of day
It'll end in glory nor matter what you say
He'll be back I guarantee that
Rolling down the road with the sun on his back
So delighted just to be in view
How could he resist someone as lovely as you?
Chorus
It's a different story by the light of day
It'll end in glory nor matter what you say
Chorus
