Marilyn:
I'll be in my room alone
Every post meridian
And I'll be with my diary
And that book by Mister Gideon

Bye, bye baby
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye
And just to show that I care
I will write and declare
That though on the loose
I'm still on the square

I've been lonely
But even though I'm lonely
There'll be no other guy
Though I'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby by and by
With my baby by and by

I'll be gloomy
But send that rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby bye and byeYou might also likeEmbed
