You've got me sighing again
What is this love all about?
I'm in, I'm out
Your kisses right from the start
Came from your lips, not your heart
You make me happy and then
Somebody new looks good to you
Just crying for you

Although I do experience moments of happiness with you
Somebody new looks good to you

This cycle of hurt and confusion causes me to cry once more
Just crying for you

Ambrose's is one of the best versions of this pretty tune, which reflects the Great Depression's pervasive sadness. I love how the muted mood is maintained throughout the performance, including Elsie's vocal, in which she resists resorting to cheap histrionics. The inclusion of the seldom heard verse, too, is a delight of this rendition.

Great early version of this one. I didn't know it went this far back. I've got Woody Herman's '46 disc.
