I'LL STEP OUT OF THE PICTURE
Michael Carr, Jimmy Kennedy

as rec by Jack Cooper w Ambrose and His Orchestra (1936)


I just don't belong
So I guess I'll move along
Better we should part
Than to break each other's heart
I'll step out of the picture
And let the one you love step in

Why should we pretend
When we know this is the end
Someone took my place
I can read it in your face
I'll step out of the picture
And let the one you love step in

Some make mistakes, dear
Some get the breaks, dear
Why broken dreams I'll try to mend?
But when you meet me
For cup and greet me
I shall always be your friend

When you walk the aisle
Don't forget, give me a smile
Though I'd lost the day
I'll be gallant, I'll be gay
I'll step out of the picture
And let the one you love step in
