Lyrics Bring Back the Joys - Alberta Hunter

Bring Back the Joys

Last night I sat and thought, dear
Why did we ever part
I’ve sat all night and cried, dear
It seems you’re breaking my heart
I tried to do things to please you
But dear, it seems all in vain
If you will come back, I’ll forgive you
Yes dear, and I’ll take the blame
Oh honey bunch, I’m lonesome
I need you, 'deed I do
Won’t you please come back to my sugar shack
I’ll sit and worry about you
Don’t care to live without you
See how you haunt me
Someday you will want me
You know my love is true
My heart keeps calling you
Each hour seems like years, dear
Won’t you forgive and let’s live like true lovers do, my honeydew
I’ll build a home just big enough for two
Where we can love, yes, bill and coo
So come back and bring the joys that you’ve taken from me
Oh honey bunch, I’m lonesome
I need you, 'deed I do
Won’t you please come back to my sugar shack
I’ll sit and worry about you
Don’t care to live without you
See how you haunt me
Someday you will want me
You know my love is true
My heart keeps calling you
Each hour seems like years, dear
Won’t you forgive and let’s live like true lovers do, my honeydew
I’ll build a home just big enough for two
Where we can love, yes, bill and coo
So come back and bring the joys that you’ve taken from me
