Dear Ruby - Carmen McRae

Ruby, My Dear

Hold back that tear

I know he’s gone

Your love has flown

You’re all alone

Oh, I know you cry

There’s no reply

Pain lingers on

It doesn’t go

Cos you’ll say so

One day he came to you

And made the music play

In his way

You said you’d rather die

Than say goodbye

But there’ll come a day

Though he’s away

You’ll sing his song

You’ll carry on

Ruby, My Dear

One day he came to you

And made the music play

In his way

You said you’d rather die

Than say goodbye

But there’ll come a day

Though he’s away

You will sing his song

You’ll carry on

Ruby, my dear
