I stood a-watchin' all night long
i stood a-watchin' all night long
i stood a-watchin' till you went away
you were a girl of many charms
oh, how i loved you in my arms
i never thought that you would ever go
'cause i loved you so
Chorus
oh, uh, susie darlin'
i thought you knew
you were all the world to me
all my dreams come true
I stood a-cryin' all night long
i stood a-cryin' all night long
cryin' wishin' you'd come back to me-ee
thinking of all the dreams we knew
now that you're gone they won't come true
my heart is empty without you
nothin' there but misery
Chorus
Now-ow i stand a-watchin' all night long
i stand a-watchin' all night long
knowing that life has nothing left for me-ee
i'll wait around most patiently
hopin' you will return to me
till that happy day i will always be
watchin' all night long
Oh, uh, susie darlin'
i thought you knew
you were all the world to me
all my dreams come true
