WITHOUT A DREAM TO MY NAME
(Artie Shaw (m) Arthur Quenzer (l) 1939)

as recorded by
Artie Shaw & his Orchestra
(vocal - Helen Forrest)
September 28th 1939


Don't you remember the moon was dressed with thrill,
Best of the night for us to claim?
Why did you leave me alone without a dream to my name?
You're the one to blame!

But for your kisses that took a sudden chill,
Love might have made the hall of fame!
Why did you leave me alone without a dream to my name?
Hang your head in shame!

You knew how I felt,
You took advantage of your charm from the start!
You even had to melt in somebody else's arms,
Right before my very heart!

I miss you so much, I guess I always will,
You didn't quite put out the flame,
And though you left me alone without a dream to my name,
I love you just the same!
