Why Have My Loved Ones Gone?

Lyrics
Tell me why have my loved ones gone Like dew ’neath the early sun? Why am I left all alone While all their troubles here are gone? My days of youth have pa**ed away And the shades of life are near But still I remain to mourn the happy days Where dear departed friends were here Tell me why have my lovеd ones gone? Gone to rеturn no more Calmly gliding o’er a summer sea While I’m left plodding on the shore? Tell me why have my loved ones gone While springtime is on the breeze? Gilding the hillside farm And breathing music through the trees The birds are singing in the air And the flowers are in their bloom All things around are beautiful and fair But still my spirit lies in gloom Tell me why have my loved ones gone? Gone to return no more Calmly gliding o’er a summer sea While I’m left plodding on the shore? Why have my loved ones gone? Gone to return no more Calmly gliding o’er a summer sea While I’m left plodding on the shore? I've got a favorite version of this at home. A duet between Hoagy Carmichael and Louis Armstrong which is about as good as it gets.
