If you should leave me
I know it would grieve me
So honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else

I love you dearly
I'm yours sincerely
But honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else

When the cat's away the mice will play
I don't say I will but still I may
I may be blue away from you
And then again I may be gay

When I get fretful I get forgetful
So honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else

When the cat's away the mice will play
I don't say I will but still I may
I may be blue away from you
And then again I may be gay

When I get fretful I get forgetful
So honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else
For somebody else
