Verse:

Gone is the romance that was so divine,

'Tis broken and cannot be mended.

You must go your way and I must go mine,

But now that our love dreams have ended.

 

Chorus:

What'll I Do when you are far away,

And I am blue, What'll I Do?

What'll I Do when I am wond'ring who,

Is kissing you, What'll I Do?

What'll I Do with just a photograph,

To tell my troubles to.

When I'm alone with only dreams of you,

That won't come true, What'll I Do?
