You Told Me To Go (1925)

a popular song from 1925
words and music by Edward Sedgwick Jr., Abe Lyman and Henry R. Cohen
Lyrics
1. Sorrow, there’s no tomorrow
Everything worth while has gone
May days have turned to dark ways
My heart went dead at what you said to me
Chorus
You told me to go, I don’t know why
And you’ll never know, it’s making me cry
Just like an old glove that’s faded and torn
I’m cast aside and I’m heartsick and worn
I’m leaving today, I’m sad and blue
Won’t stand in your way, there’s somebody new
“Through with me?”, I was dazed when you said it
A book’s no good when once you have read it
Goodbye, Dear, you told me to go
2. Sighing, there’s no denying
Things you’ve done I can’t forget
Each tear has added one year
My one regret I ever met with you
