NIGHTS WHEN I'M LONELY
(Martha Boswell)

recorded by the Boswell Sisters
with Vitaly Jacques Lubowski (piano)
March 25th 1925 New Orleans



I'm only oh so lonely, dear,
I'm bawdy and I'm blue.
I'm thinking of the happy times
That I have had with you.

What would I give
If I could live
That time over again!
Times like this
Is when I miss
The kisses I adore oh, oh-oh!

Nights when I feel lonely,
Nights when I feel blue,
I think of you only,
For no-one else will do!

Let bygones be forgotten,
Let's start our love anew.
I love you still,
I always will,
There's no-one else but you!

(scat)

Nights when I feel lonely,
Nights when I feel blue,
I think of you only,
For no-one else will do!

Let bygones be forgotten,
Let's start our love anew.
I love you still,
I always will,
There's no-one else but you!
