So tired of longing for you
Tired of waiting
Saving my love for you
So tired of dreaming daydreams
So tired of only play schemes
Why don't you call me
Tell me that your thoughts
Are all of me, sweetheart
All day long I wonder
Why we're far apart
So tired of dreaming of you
So tired of waiting for you
But though I'm tired
I'll wait forever, dear
So tired of dreaming of you
So tired of waiting for you
But though I'm tired
I'll wait forever, dear

One of the recordings Mom taught me how to dance. Every lady wanted to dance with this 12 year old boy. I was quite good. I loved it!!!

One of my late Dad's favorite recordings. He was a trombone player himself and he and my mother went to see him at the Blue Room when he came to New Orleans. Once when I was about 8 years old he and his wife came to dinner. This brings back memories of Sunday's listening to "Big Band" music on the record player. Unfortuately I lost all my dad's records in Katrina.

One of my Mom's favorite songs growing up in the 40's. She shared it with me about 30 years ago before she passed, and it became our song. Love you and miss you, Mom!

One of my late father's favourite songs. I managed to find the 78 for him and it brought back a lot of memories.

Recorded on November 10, 1945.
It was released in late '48, due to the 1948-'49 recording ban by AFM musicians. Decca was looking for previously unreleased tracks to ensure their quota of issuing "new" material until the dispute with the AFM was settled, and found this one. It became Russ' biggest hit of 1949.
