Yesterday I had so much to live for But today I'm blue as I can be There is nothing that I wouldn't give for All those precious things you took from me You took the gold from my golden sunset And from my heaven, you took the blue And for my part, you left a broken heart Oh, why didn't you take that too You took the flowers that bloom in June time Those happy hours that once I knew And for me dear you only left a tear Oh, why didn't you take that too If you had taken the clouds away dear I'd not be feeling the way I do But you left me a burning memory Oh, why didn't you take that too If you had taken the clouds away dear I'd not be feeling the way I do But you left me a burning memory Oh, why didn't you take that too
