  • 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
    Because I loved you so

    Oh-uh, Susie darlin'
    I thought that 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' and wishin' you'd come back to me

    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

    Oh-uh, Susie darlin'
    I thought that you knew
    You were all the world to me
    All my dreams come true

    Now-ow I stand a-watchin' all night long
    I stand a-watchin' all night long
    Knowing that life has nothing left for me

    I'll wait around most patiently
    Hopin' you will return to me
    'Til that happy day I will always be
    Watchin' all night long

    Oh-uh, Susie darlin'
    I thought that you knew
    You were all the world to me
    All my dreams come true Writer/s: Robin Luke
