As I hear the mocking birds I remember the words When you said that forever you'd love me Now happiness is gone memories linger on From the chains of our love I can't free Sweet as the morning smile like the sunshine Ours was a love no words could tell I love you oh how I miss you Won't you come back Lily Dale Since we have said goodbye I'm so blue I could cry Happiness is a thing called the past Days without you make my nights oh so blue And always in my heart our love will last
