—Bill Monroe
The days are long the nights are lonely
Since you left me all alone
I miss you so my little darling
I worried so since you've been gone
Chorus:
Sweetheart of mine can't you hear me calling
A million times I love you best
I mistreated you, lord and I'm sorry
Come back to me is my request
I remember dear the night we parted
A big mistake had caused it all
If you come back sunshine will follow
If you stay away twill be my fall
The nights are long my little darling
Oh how I need your sweet embrace
When I awoke the sun was shining
I looked up and I saw your face
Verse and Chorus:
