That'll
be the day when you say good bye, yeh, that'll be the day when you make
me cry. You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'cause that'll be the day when I die. |
a |
Well,
you give me all you lovin' and your turtle dovin', all your hugs and kisses
and your money too. You say you love me baby, that's what you tell me baby, that's some day well I'll be blue. |
b |
Well,
when Cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart, though if we ever
part then I'll need two. A-and you say you'll call me, a-and you tell me Polly, that's some day well I'll be blue. |
