Sweetheart the day we parted

Somehow I never knew

You'd leave me broken hearted

Pining away for you

All that I really cared for

All that I wanted near

All that made life worth living

Vanished with you my dear



[chorus:]

Take me back

Won't you take me back

Every joy I knew

Will return with you

I'm so sad

You are all I had

Can't you hear my broken heart calling you

Take me back



[2nd verse:]

Sweetheart since we've been parted

Seems like a thousand years

For every hour of gladness

I've paid an hour of tears

Come back and make me happy

Why should we live apart

Come to my arms and answer

The call of my broken heart
