Oh the bed I slip into is empty and frozen No lover have I to hold And my sleep it is fitful but I cling to the dreaming O how can I live one more night without you? Oh the pots are a-warming over the fire On the table a setting for two And I'm hoping against hope the door will fling open O how can I live one more night without you? Chorus... Lala la laa la la la Lala la laa la la la Lala la laa la la la La la la La la la La lala la I wake before light as the first bird is calling I milk by the dawn's eerie hue As the work wears me thinner Will a hand grasp my shoulder ? O how can I live one more night without you? Chorus... No crack of a stockwhip No drumming of hoofbeats In less than a moment she knew No desperate embracing No passionate whisper O how can I live one more night without you? Chorus...
