[Verse 1] Lydia's new lover won her by his charm Spent warm evenings talking and walking arm in arm But in the hush of nighttime she'd cry upon her bed A man in her past caused her to live her life in dread [Refrain 1] Lydia Lydia [Verse 2] She had been another's in misty memory But time had changed her feelings she wanted to be free To live life in abandon and take love as it came He swore that she'd regret the decision that she'd made [Refrain 2] Lydia Oh, Lydia Why did you have to go away Lydia, my Lydia Lydia come back to me today [8 Bar Interlude] [Verse 3] Once upon an evening when everything was calm As she and her lover were lying by the pond From deep within the shadow the jealous man appeared A single shot split silence, as he whispered through his tears [Refrain 3] Lydia Oh, Lydia Why did you have to go away Lydia My sweet Lydia Lydia come back to me and stay [8 Bar Interlude] [Bridge] Though confined He often walks the forest of his mind He sees her standing there Her voice moves through the trees He cries out [Refrain 4] Lydia Lovely Lydia Why did you have to go away Lydia My darling Lydia Lydia come back to me and never go away [Outro: 4 Bar Musical ending]
