Jim - Jimmy Dorsey

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

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 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
