Lyrics

Sunday is gloomy, my hours are slumberless
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless
Little white flowers will never awaken you
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought of ever returning you
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy is Sunday, with shadows, I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles and prayers that are sad, I know
Let them not weep, let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream, for in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul, I'll be blessing you
Gloomy, gloomy Sunday
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart, dear
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I felt my heart melt
When I dreamt that we two were apart, far above
Far, far, far above
Dear darling, I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
Gloomy, gloomy Sunday
