English Lyrics Rumiko Varnes / Pete Hawkins
Music & Original Lyrics Keisuke Kuwata

ELLIE MY LOVE ( Victor )

Ellie My Love

There were times I left your heart in pain
Time again I've turned and walked away
I'd get to where I'm going just to find
Won't be happy in this world if you're not by my side
Ellie, my love so sweet

My heart told me to break away
Now I'm out here far away
Wish that I could hold you in the night
Then I'd wake up to a morning that is warm and bright
Ellie, my love so sweet

Smile for me, won't you, baby
Forever you'll be on my mind
Drink with me, won't you, baby
We're gonna make it right this time
There's no one else like
Anything you want, I'll do
Ellie, my love so sweet
