As a DJ, I should know this, but I'm stuck.
What song from the 40's or early 50's starts with:
With the parting of the ways,
You took all my happy days,
And left me lonely nights.
Morning never comes too soon,
I can face the afternoon,
But oh, those lobely nights.

I also need to know who recorded it.
It's called Happy Days And Lonely Nights and was a hit in the Uk for three different acts in 1955, Ruby Murray (no.6), Frankie Vaughan (no. 12) and the Johnston Brothers (no. 14).

Ken Dodd also recorded it, but not charted IIRC.

My memory takes me to
The wonderful nights we knew
When I made love to you until the dawn.
You left and to my surprise
I'm laughing with tear dimmed eyes
Because I realise
I can't go on my darling.

With the parting of the ways
You took all my happy days
And left me lonely nights.
Morning never comes too soon
I can face the afternoon
But oh, those lonely nights.
I feel your arms around me,
Your kisses linger yet,
You taught me how to love you,
Now teach me to forget!
You broke my heart a million ways
When you took my happy days
And left me lonely nights.

The beautiful month of May
Without you is sad and grey,
Oh, how I hate the day, I let you go.
I find that my happiness,
Depends on your sweet caress
I thought I lov'd you less,
But now I know, my darling.

With the parting of the ways
You took all my happy days
And left me lonely nights.
Morning never comes too soon
I can face the afternoon
But oh, those lonely nights.
I feel your arms around me,
Your kisses linger yet,
You taught me how to love you,
Now teach me to forget!
You broke my heart a million ways
When you took my happy days
And left me lonely nights.
