Darling

They all loved you, the people called you 
Darling
Crowds around you, they all adored you,
Darling
Standing up there in the candlelight,
Singing the blues that went on all night
Hoping your life would come out right
Oh Darling

Good time loving was morning blues for
Darling
You had to love him, couldn’t refuse him, 
Darling
He told the world that he loved you so,
But his eyes, they were cold as snow,
He would never let you go
Oh Darling

They all left you, when trouble came,
Oh Darling
Shooting it up to kill the pain
Oh Darling
You had to leave, had to say goodbye,
Billie baby, you had to cry,
Good time friends just let you die 
Oh Darling
