Annette Hanshaw - Wasting My Love on You (1930)

You came along on a May day You brought me love in the Spring Now I know that May day Never meant a thing I'm just a lonely romancer Right at the end of my rope Though I've had your answer I can't give up hope I'm in love with someone who doesn't love me An' that's why I'm bluer than blue Wasting my time, wasting my love on you Just you I'm just like a loveboat that's sailing the sea Without any captain or crew Wasting my time, wasting my love on you If I could forget your kiss I'd dismiss you from my memory But the rapture of your charms And those arms that used to thrill, haunt me still I'm forever dreaming of what used to be And my heart is breaking in two Wasting my time, wasting my love on you You took all my kisses, I thought that you cared Now, what am I going to do I've wasted my time, wasted my love on you Just you And when you seemed lonesome, the hours I shared I'd live them all over with you Wasting my time, wasting my love on you All on you Love is such a fickle thing Still I cling to bygone memories How can I forget the bliss of your kiss That used to burn, how I yearn Ev'ry night I scorch while I carry the torch Oh, why do I have to be blue Wasting my time, wasting my love on you!
