WISHFUL THINKING

from 1941 film "Tall Dark & Handsome" sung by Virginia Gilmore
(Ralph Rainger (m) Leo Robin (l) 1940)

as recorded by
Ella Fitzgerald & her Famous Orchestra
January 8th 1941 
New York


Is it only wishful thinking
To suppose you could care for me?
Is it only idle dreaming
To believe such a joy could be?

I've decided that a love that's great as mine
Should be divided by two.
Is it only wishful thinking,
Or do I stand a chance with you?

I've decided that a love that's great as mine
Should be divided by two.
Is it only wishful thinking,
Or do I stand a chance with you?
