[Written by Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn]
Love me or leave me
Or let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely
Then happy with someone else
You might find the night time
The right time for kissin'
But night time is my time
For just reminiscin'
Regretting instead of forgetting
With somebody else
Now there'll be no one
Unless that someone is you, you, you
I intend to be independently blue, blue, blue
I want your love
But I don't want to borrow
Have it today, give it back tomorrow
Your love for my love
It's your love or nobody else
|
There's nothing left for me
Of days that used to be
They're just a memory
Among my souvenirs
Some letters sad and blue
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
Among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And, though they do their best
To give me consolation,
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs.
