Lyrics

It's been a blue holiday
Since you've been gone
Oh darling, won't you hurry, hurry home?
It's been a blue
A blue holiday
And I'm all alone
My dear, I need your love
To keep, to keep me warm
I cry when I hear the chapel bells ring
And sometimes I cry all through the night
Won't you please come home?
And make my, make my holiday bright
It's been a blue, oh yes, it has
It's been a blue holiday
And I'm all, all alone
My dear, I need your love
Your love to keep me, keep me warm
It's been a blue, yeah, holiday
Since you, since you've been gone
Yeah, yeah
