Track Title: Jim Album Title: Sing, Song, Swing! Prime Artist: Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics by: Nelson Shawn Music by: Caesar Petrillo Saxophone: Edward Ross Originally made famous by: Dinah Shore Originally made famous by: Jimmy Dorsey From: 1941 Lyrics: (Verse): Why am I sitting alone tonight, when I could be out where the lights are bright? It's all because of Jim, It's all because of Jim. Why am i wasting these precios years? Why am I crying these bitter tears? It's all because of Jim, It's all because of Jim. (Chorus): Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers, Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours, Don't know why I'm so crazy for Jim. Jim never tells me I'm his hearts desire. I never seem to set his love afire Gone are the years I've wasted on him. Sometimes when I get feeling low, I say "Let's call it quits." Then I hang on and let him go Breaking my heart in bits. Some day I know tht Jim will up and leave me, But even if he does you can believe me, I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim. |
