|
I stood a-watchin' all night long
|
I stood a-watchin' all night long
|
I stood a-watchin' till you went away
|
You were a girl of many charms
|
Oh, how I loved you in my arms
|
I never thought that you would ever go
|
'cause I loved you so
|
|
CHORUS
|
Oh, uh, Susie darlin'
|
I thought you knew
|
You were all the world to me
|
All my dreams come true
|
|
I stood a-cryin' all night long
|
I stood a-cryin' all night long
|
Cryin' wishin' you'd come back to me-ee
|
Thinking of all the dreams we knew
|
Now that you're gone they won't come true
|
My heart is empty without you
|
Nothin' there but misery
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Now-ow I stand a-watchin' all night long
|
I stand a-watchin' all night long
|
Knowing that life has nothing left for me-ee
|
I'll wait around most patiently
|
Hopin' you will return to me
|
Till that happy day I will always be
|
Watchin' all night long
|
|
Oh, uh, Susie darlin'
|
I thought you knew
|
You were all the world to me
|
All my dreams come true
