I'M CRYING 'CAUSE I KNOW I'M LOSING YOU
(Cliff Friend)


Cliff "Ukulele Ike" Edwards - 1927
Annette Hanshaw - 1928







As recorded by CLIFF EDWARDS:


Do-do-do-do-do-do, You ask me why I cry
Pretending that you don't know, but, dear, you do 
Just like a happy day that's ending 
Our sweet romance is ending, too

I'm crying 'cause I know I'm losing you 
I'm sighing 'cause I know I'm losing you
Though you say no, and smile at me 
It's just a smile of sympathy

I've tried to make you happy, honest true 
Instead somehow I know I made you blue 
My heart is aching, breaking in two 
'Cause I know I'm losing you

Your love don't thrill me like it used to do 
I've got the feeling that I'm losing you 
Although we pet, I understand 
What love I get is second hand

I hate to lose you, honey, honest true
I've got so used to all the things you do 
I'll have to start all over anew 
'Cause I know I'm losing you
