Jim (12-18-54) - Clifford Brown

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 heart’s desire

I never seem to set his love afire

Gone are the years I’ve wasted on him

Sometimes when I get feelin' low

I say let’s call it quits

Then I hang on and let him go

Breakin' my heart in bits

Someday I know that Jim will up and leave me

But even if he does you can believe me

I’ll go on carrying the torch for Jim

I’ll go on lovin' my Jim
