MY MISTAKE 
(Alex Kramer / Joan Whitney)

as recorded by Helen Forrest
with Hugo Winterhalter & his Orchestra
January 1949 New York


My mistake was when I let you get away,
My mistake because I could have made you stay!
Your mistake when you believed the things you heard,
Your mistake because you wouldn't take my word!

Our mistake was when we said that we were through,
When all the time, deep in our hearts it wasn't true!
Can't we start all over and give our love a break?
Who cares if it was yours or my mistake!

Can't we start all over and give our love a break?
Who cares if it was yours or my mistake!
