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
