To-night I?m alone, in the place I call home wileing the hours away Weaving a dream, of a beautiful scene, and a girl on her wedding day She fell in love with the best friend I had, the thought nearly drives me insane I hope she will be happy, as long as she lives, for I?ll still love her just the same. I stood in the church, the day she was wed, my heart nearly broke with pain And as the organ played ?O Promise Me? from tears I could hardly refrain As they passed me by-I caught her eye, but quickly she turned away Tho she is his, I want her to know she?ll bemine to my dieting day.
July 1955
WHEN THE LEAVES COME TUMBl(E)NG DOWN
REFRAIN
When the leaves come tumbling down
Yellow, green, red and brown
That?s a sign that winters? near
When the leaves come tumbling down
There?s no use to worry dear
Just as long as I am here
Let the north wind blow, let it rain and snow
Let the leaves come tumbling down
We?ll sit by the fire, we?ll plan and plan a wedding grand
Honey don?t you frown, say you?ll look lovely in a wedding gown
Summer time will come again
There?ll be no more snow or rain
Let the north wind blow, let it rain and snow
Let leaves come tumbling down.
A BIT OF PHILOSOPHY
If you wake up in the morning and you?re feeling sort of blue
