“What CD is this Darin song on?”

      I woke up this mornin' feelin'
      Just as though my head were reelin'
      Reelin' from a dream I had last night.

      Then I turned and faced your pillow
      Wept just like the weepin' willow
      Seems like the dream I had was right.

      You were gone ...
      And the love I was givin' is ...
      And the reason for livin' is ...
      But the memory of your love lives on.

      Til the day that heaven calls me
      No arms'll ever hold me
      My love and happiness are gone.

      I sit here just thinkin' 'bout you
      Wonderin' how I'll live without you
      Tryin' to figure out what I did wrong.

      But I guess it doesn't matter
      If you found-a someone better
      I'll be here when that someone is gone.

      Yes, you're gone ...
      And the love I was givin' is ...
      And the reason for livin' is ...
      But the memory of your love lives on.

      Til the day that heaven calls me
      No arms'll ever hold me
      My love and happiness are gone.

My love and happiness are gone ...
My love and happiness are gone ...
