Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ruby my dear
Hold back that tear
I know he's gone
Your love has flown
You're all alone
[Verse 2]
Oh I know you cry
There's no reply
Pain lingers on
It doesn't go
'Cause you say so
[Verse 3]
One day he came to you and made the music play in his way
You said you'd rather die
Than say goodbye
But there'll come a day
Though he's away
You'll sing his song
You'll carry on
Ruby my dear
[Verse 4]
One day he came to you
And made the music play in his way
You said you'd rather die
Than say goodbye
But there'll come a day
Though he's away
You will sing his song
You'll carry on
Ruby my dear
