As I hear the Mocking birds, I remember the words
When you said, that forever you'd love me
Now  happiness is gone, memories linger on
From the chains of our love, I set you free

Sweet as the morning, smile like the sunshine
Ours was a love no words could  tell
I love you, oh how I miss you
Won't you come back, Lily Dale

Since we have said good bye, I'm so blue, I could cry
Happiness is a thing called the past
Days without you, make my nights, oh, so blue
And always in my heart, our love will last

Sweet as the morning, smile like the sunshine
Ours was a love no words could  tell
I love you, oh how I miss you
Won't you come back, Lily Dale
Won't you come  back, Lily  Dale?
