WHAT HAVE I DONE?

(L) Desmond Carter, 
(M) Walter Jurmann)


As recorded by:
Four Bright Sparks, Dir. Van Phillips
V. Lou Abelardo
Recorded 18th February 1930



What have I done, what have I said,
Why must I leave you
When all my thoughts you must have read,
Would I deceive you
When first I knew what love could be
I wanted you, you wanted me
Within your eyes I saw the prize
That I had won
How can I try to say goodbye
Must I forget you
If we must part I wonder why I ever met you
The love you brought was like a flower
It only lived for an hour
Why is it dead, what have I said
What have I done?

(Musical Break)

The love you brought was like a flower
It only lived for an hour
Why is it dead, what have I said
What have I done?
