Life is a book so they say
Of records on each page
I turned my first leaf when I went upon the stage
The road was rough and it was tough
Especially for a girl alone
Heartaches, sighing, nights of crying
For my folks at home
Why I remember
Way back when
Way back when I was a young Connecticut lass
I was just as green as grass
And lots of nerve, no class
And the men I met then
They were some sweet bunch
That a star they'd make me
Right away they tried to date me
But I had a giddish hunch
Then there came a day for a job pay
I wondered if I'd make it
Only twenty things
But when your broke it seems a fortune
And you take it
And then there came along one fine song
I hope you'll never forget to remember me
When you hear
Some of these days
You'll be so lonely
Some of these days
You'll miss me honey
You'll miss my huggin'
You're gonna miss my kissin'
You're gonna miss me honey
When I'm far away
I feel so lonely for you only
'Cause you know honey
You'll have your way
And when you leave me
You know it's gonna grieve me
Gonna miss your big fat mama
Your mama
Some of these days
Some of these days
You'll miss me honey
Some of these days
You're gonna be so lonely
You'll miss my huggin'
You're gonna miss my kissin'
You're gonna miss me honey
When I'm far away
Then I'll be so lonely for you only
'Cause you know honey
You had your way
And when you leave me
You know it's gonna grieve me
Gonna miss your big fat mama
Your mama
Some of these days
