I'M SORRY DEAR


as recorded by Gene Austin
with Jack Teagarden & His Orchestra
November 10th 1931 New York


Just like a rose you faded,
Your life is what I made it,
I was all to blame, forgive me,
I'm sorry dear!

I took your heart and ruled you,
I stole your love and fooled you,
Now I'm so ashamed, believe me,
I'm sorry dear!

I know I don't deserve
One word of sympathy.
Sweetheart, please let me show
How much you mean to me, dear!

I wanna bring you glad days,
Make up for all your sad days,
Give me one more chance, I beg you,
I'm sorry dear!
