I'll be in my room alone Every post meridian And I'll read my diary And that book by Mister Gideon. Bye, bye, baby Remember you're my baby When they give you the eye, And just to show that I care I will write and declare That I'm on the loose But I'm still on the square. I've been lonely But even though I'm lonely There'll be no other guy. Though I'll be gone for a while I know that I'll be smiling With my baby by and by With my baby by and by. I'll be gloomy But send that rainbow to me Then my shadows will fly. Though you'll be gone fo a while I know that I'll be smiling With my baby by and by.
