MY FIRST AND ONLY LOVER
(Artie Kaplan / Paul Kaufman / Jack Keller

as recorded by Nat "King" Cole
with orchestra conducted by Belford Hendricks
1962


My first and only lover, (my first)
My first and only lover, (lover)
I woke up to discover
Doesn't love me!

My dreams have been forsaken,
My dreams have been forsaken,
For someone else has taken
Her love from me!

Oh gosh oh gee I'm so blue, (so blue)
'Cause I thought your love was true!
I just don't know what to do,
Are we really really through,
I wonder?

Oh my first and only lover,
My first and only lover,
There'll never be another
Lover for me!

Oh gosh oh gee I'm so blue, (so blue)
'Cause I thought your love was true!
I just don't know what to do,
Are we really really through,
I wonder?

Oh my first and only lover,
My first and only lover,
There'll never be another
Lover for me,
Lover for me,
Lover for me,
Lover for me...
