(Verse I)
Girl I see your face 'most everywhere I go,
And I get a feelin', That just won't let go.
How can I, Forget the time, You said you'd never lie to me?
You said you'd always try to see my side.
Up until today, I never thought I'd say you lied.

(V II)
When I got your letter, I broke down and cried.
Now I know I'll never, Look into your eyes.
How can I, Forgive you girl, After all the things you've done?
You broke my heart and took the sun away.
Oh, my, my, today. And now you know it's true,
That all I've left to do,
(Chorus Refrain)
Is sing these Leaving England Blues.

(Instrumental Bridge)

(V III)
With a broken heart how can I carry on?
I can't even start. I'm lost now that you're gone.
How can I, Erase the things,
We did when we were young at love?
You gave my heart that loving shove away.
Oh, my, my, today. I guess you know it's true,
That all I've left to do,
Is sing these Leaving England Blues.
Sing these Leaving England Blues.

I was at England Air Force Base in Alexandria, Louisiana, getting ready to escape from the fascists, to come home where my last girl, a beautiful young poet, was not looking forward to seeing me.
