Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There were times I left your heart in pain
Time again I turned and walked away
I get to where I'm going just to find
Won't be happy in this world
If you're not by my side
Ellie, my love, so sweet
[Verse 2]
My heart told me to break away
Now I'm out here far away
Wishin' that I could hold you in the night
Then I'd wake up to a morning
That is warm and bright
Ellie, my love, so sweet
[Verse 3]
Smile for me, won't you, baby?
Forever you'll be on my mind
Drink with me, won't you, baby?
We're gonna make it right this time
[Verse 4]
There's no one else like you
Anything you want, I'll do
Ellie, my love, so sweet
Ellie, my love, so sweet
[Verse 5]
My heart told me to break away
Now I'm here so far away
Wishin' that I could hold you in the night
Then I'd wake up to a morning
That is warm and bright
Ellie, my love, so sweet
[Verse 6]
Smile for me, won't you, baby?
Forever you'll be on my mind
Drink with me, won't you, baby?
We're gonna make it right this time
[Verse 7]
There's no one else like you
Anything you want, I'll do
Ellie, my love, so sweet
Ellie, my love, so sweet
[Verse 8]
Smile for me, won't you, baby? (Smile for me, baby)
Forever you'll be on my mind (Forever you'll be on my mind)
Drink with me, won't you, baby? (Drink for me, baby)
We're gonna make it right this time (Yeah, this time)
[Verse 9]
There's no one else like you
Anything you want, I'll do
Ellie, my love, so sweet
Ellie, my love, so sweet
Ellie, my love, so sweet
