Oh, oh, oh, I remember when we were kids
We shared all the hurt and tears
No matter what the weather [What the weather, what the weather]
We were always together

Then we grew up and time went on
We became separated
When I went off to school
My sweet Toby waited

I went off to school
My sweet Toby waited
Was a sad day
When Toby went away

Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Sad day
Toby went away

Sad day
Toby went away
I came home from Spring vacation
Expected to find my Toby waiting

Called her on her private phone
She didn't answer, something was wrong
I ran all the way to her house
Rang her bell

Her mother answered and told me
To come and sit a spell
I sat down to try to be prepared
For what she?d say

And what she said brought tears to my eyes
I couldn't push away
Toby left on a cloudy
Rainy day

She went to sing with angels
Toby's gone away
It was a sad day
Oh... ho... Toby went away

It was a sad day
When Toby went away
It was a sad day
Oh...oh...when Toby went away

It was a sad day
When Toby went away
Was a sad day
When Toby went away

Was a sad day
When Toby went away
