Irving Berlin - when I lost you

Roses each one met with the Sun

Sweetheart, when I met you

The sunshine had fled, the roses were dead

Sweetheart, when I lost you.

I lost the sunshine and roses,

I lost the heavens of blue,

I lost the beautiful rainbow,

I lost the morning dew.

I lost the angel who gave me

Summer the whole Winter through,

I lost the gladness

that turned into sadness

when I lost you.

The birds ceased their song,

right turned to wrong,

Sweetheart, when I lost you.

A day turned to years,

the world seemed in tears,

Sweetheart, when I lost you.

I lost the sunshine and roses,

I lost the heavens of blue,

I lost the beautiful rainbow,

I lost the morning dew.

I lost the angel who gave me

Summer the whole Winter through,

I lost the gladness

that turned into sadness,

when I lost you.
