[Verse]
What will I do at sundown
What will I do at dawn
What will I do at noontime
Now that I've found you gone?
What will I do for sunshine
With nothing but the rain?
How can I smile
Find life worthwhile
With a heart that's filled with pain?
My, how I miss
Your tender kiss
And the wonderful things you would do
I run my hands
Through silvery strands
'Cause I'm blue, turning grey over you

[Chorus]
Well, you used to be
So good to me
That's when I was a novelty
Now you have new thrills in view
Found someone new
Left me blue, turning grey over you

[Bridge]
I said, how can I smile
Find life worthwhile
With a heart that's filled with pain?

[Chorus]
You used to be
So good to me
That's when I was a novelty
Well now you have found some new thrills to view and some new buddy friends and I don't know what to do
Because I'm blue turning grey over you

[Outro]
Yeh, come on, hit me, daddy, hit me
Let me hear it one time!
Oh yeah
Ba-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-so-so-so-so
Ba-sa-sa-sa-sa-dootsie-dootise-doo
I just lost myself there, child, ha! Ha! Ha!

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
