Seems lak to me de stars don't shine so bright, <br />Seems lak to me de sun done loss his light, <br />Seems lak to me der's nothin' goin' right, <br />Sence you went away. <br /> <br />Seems lak to me de sky ain't half so blue, <br />Seems lak to me dat ev'ything wants you, <br />Seems lak to me I don't know what to do, <br />Sence you went away. <br /> <br />Seems lak to me dat ev'ything is wrong, <br />Seems lak to me de day's jes twice es long, <br />Seems lak to me de bird's forgot his song, <br />Sence you went away. <br /> <br />Seems lak to me I jes can't he'p but sigh, <br />Seems lak to me ma th'oat keeps gittin' dry, <br />Seems lak to me a tear stays in ma eye, <br />Sence you went away.<br /><br />James Weldon Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sence-you-went-away/
