"Here is how many nights and a day.
Here is how long you have been away.
It was to be our last time apart.
The last strain on my shipwrecked heart.
You said you'd be back in spring.
A time for sweetness and whispering.
You said we'd meet in a budding grove.
And through Paris streets we'd rove.
I love you and love you still, I love you alone and always will.
But if you choose to go your way.
I 'll remember our love as a happy day.
I'll hit the road, a smile on my face.
I'll go bask in the sun some other place
Sorrows won't make me give up my life.
I'm not as patient as a sailor's wife."
