Oh, the bed I slip into is empty and frozen
No lover have I to hold
And my sleep it is pitiful,
but I cling to the dreaming
How can I spend one more
night without you?
Oh, the pots are a -warming over the fire
On the table a setting for two
And I'm hoping against hope
the door will fling open
How can I spend one more night
without you?
A wink before light as the first bird is calling
A milk by the dawn's eerie hue
As the lark wears me thinner,
will a hand grasp my shoulder?
How can I spend one more night without
you?
No crack of a stock whip
drumming a fourth beat
In less than a moment she knew
No desperate embracing,
no passionate whisper
How can I spend one more night
without you?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
You
you
