What'll I Do

Irving Berlin · Alexander's Ragtime Band [2001]

Gone is the romance that was so divine

'Tis broken and cannot be mended

You must go your way and I must go mine

But now that our love dreams have ended



(chorus)

What'll I do when you are far away

And I am blue, what'll I do?



What'll I do when I am wondering who

Is kissing you, what'll I do?



What'll I do with just a photograph

To tell my troubles to?



When I'm alone with only dreams of you

That won't come true

What'll I do?



Do you remember a night filled with bliss?

The moonlight was softly descending

Your lips and my lips were tied with a kiss

A kiss with an unhappy ending...



(chorus)

What'll I do when you are far away

And I am blue, what'll I do?



What'll I do when I am wondering

Who is kissing you, what'll I do?



What'll I do with just a photograph

To tell my troubles to?



When I'm alone with only dreams of you

That won't come true

What'll I do?
