lyrics

Sorrow Is My Lover Now (Abe Loomis)

Without a warning, you told me goodbye
And in the morning, I thought I might die
But took a chance and found somebody new
It's not a big thing, I'm just over you

And sorrow is my lover now
And I don't have to show her how
She opens up my heart with velvet hands
Kisses me and holds me tight
Visits almost every night
And freely satisfies all my demands

It was nearly more than I could bear
And all around us, the memories in the air
So when you called, and it was rather late
I said I'm sorry, but I just couldn't wait

And sorrow is my lover now
And I don't have to show her how
She opens up my heart with velvet hands
Kisses me and holds me tight
Visits almost every night
And freely satisfies all my demands
