As performed by ALICE FAYE
in the film "Hello Frisco, Hello":
Oh, Darling, I'm so blue without you
I think about you the livelong day
When you ask me if I'm lonely
Then I have only this to say
You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

As rec by NAT "KING" COLE
(with Nelson Riddle & His Orch.) 1954:
You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now!
You said goodbye
Now stars in the sky
Refuse to shine!
Take it from me
It's no fun to be alone
With moonlight and memory!
I speak your nam in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
You'll never know if you don't know now!
