Why oh why such a sad sigh She woke up this morning with a tear in her eye Her boy was gone he was on the run Rolling down the road in search of a song Chorus So send him a letter from your heart Tell him that you miss him since you've been apart Send him a letter and drag him back to your heart The sun went down all around She's standing on the corner of this dirty old town Feeling lost, double crossed Her heart is dull and empty covered over with frost Chorus It's a different story by the light of day It'll end in glory nor matter what you say He'll be back I guarantee that Rolling down the road with the sun on his back So delighted just to be in view How could he resist someone as lovely as you? Chorus It's a different story by the light of day It'll end in glory nor matter what you say Chorus
