(Val Holstins)
Lew Stone & the Monseigneur Dance Orchestra
Why waste your tears on a man who for years
Has just wasted your time
He’d make amends if you’d let him be friends
But you think that that’s a crime
He’s like to be a big brother
Now that he’s found some other gal
If he must go, well let him
Just forget him, that’s all
Why waste your tears on a useless emotion
Now he’s gone away
He couldn’t give you an endless devotion
You know you’ve had your day
Just look around and discover
Some other lover who’ll do
Why waste your tears
On dreams that’ll never come true
