There she is, my old gal
There he is, my old pal
And here am I, broken hearted!
She was mine in May, his in June
She forgot mighty soon
And here am I, broken hearted!
The last time that we said goodbye
I knew that we were through!
It’s bad enough that I lost her
I only had to lose him too!
Therer they go in their joy
Happy girl and lucky boy!
And here am I, broken hearted!
Oh, my heart will never ever know a pain
If I hadn’t ever loved in vain
But here am I, broken hearted!
I wish he was here today, I would love to ask him about life, love, and thank him for not being afraid to sing out strong about life and love! Thank you for this! Thank you too Johnnie, our lives are certainly richer because of you!
Polly Bergen thought so much of this record she included the song on her Helen Morgan album though Helen Morgan had nothing to do with it and it got the most radio play of all the songs on her landmark album.
