[Verse 1]
There's a thorn in my heart, oh my darling
A thorn that's been there many years
And I sleep every night, oh my darling
On a pillow of sighs and tears
[Verse 2]
And I know just why I am crying
Everytime your vision appears
I awake every dawn, oh my darling
On a pillow of sighs and tears
[Verse 3]
All the days have been long since you left me
The nights have been all full of tears
And I still yearn for you, oh my darling
On a pillow of sighs and tears
[Verse 4]
And I know there will be no sunshine
Until your smile once more appears
So each night, I must dream, oh my darling
On a pillow of sighs and tears
