INSIDE THIS HEART OF MINE
J Fred Coots (m) Benny Davis (l)

as recorded by Thomas "Fats" Waller 
& his Orchestra 
April 12th 1938 
New York


Outside it's sunny, but in this heart of mine,
The world is gloomy, the sun refused to shine.
I've done the best that I could do,
All for you,
Now we're through!

Sunshine brings danger within this heart of mine,
(come here baby, let me tell you somethin')
Blue skies taunt me,
Memories haunt me,
You don't want me,
Let me be alone and have my cry!

Outside it's sunny, but that's a real bad sign, yes yes!
Love is a stranger inside this heart of mine!

Outside it's sunny, but that's a real bad sign,
Love is a stranger inside this heart of mine,
Inside this heart of mine!
