(written by Billy Strahorn)
2
I used to visit all the very gay places
3
Those come-what-may places
4
I used to visit all the very gay places
5
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
6
To get the feel of life
7
From jazz and cocktails.
8
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
9
With distingue traces
10
That used to be there -- You could see where they'd been washed away
11
By too many through the day
12
Twelve o'clock tales
13
Then you came along with your siren song
14
To tempt me to madness...
15
I thought for a while that your poignant smile
16
Was tinged with the sadness...
17
Of a great love for me.
18
Ah yes, I was wrong.
19
Again, I was wrong.
20
Life is lonely again,
21
And only last year, everything seemed so sure.
22
Now life is awful again,
23
A trough full of hearts could only be a bore.
24
A week in Paris will ease the bite of it
25
All I care is to smile in spite of it
26
I'll forget you, I will
27
While yet you are still
28
Burning inside my brain
29
Romance is mush
30
Stifling those who strive
31
I'll live a lush life in some small dive
32
And there I'll be, while I rot with the rest
33
Of those whose lives are lonely too.
