Don't Worry 'Bout Me 1939

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 Oct 2002

This is the one moment
that I thought I never could live thro',
But now somehow, that it's here, my dear,
that foolish fear disappears,
and saying goodbye seems sweet.
It's plain that Fate didn't want us
on a one way street.

Don't worry 'bout me,
I'll get along;
Forget about me, be happy my love.
Let's say that our little show is over
and so, the story ends;
why not call it a day
the sensible way,
and still be friends.
"Look out for yourself"
should be the rule;
give your heart and your love
to whoever you love,
Don't be a fool.
Darling, why should you cling
to some fading thing that used to be?
If you can't forget,
Don't worry 'bout me.

Don't worry 'bout me,
I'll get along;
Forget about me, be happy my love.
Let's say that our little show is over
and so, the story ends;
why not call it a day
the sensible way,
and still be friends.
"Look out for yourself"
should be the rule;
give your heart and your love
to whoever you love,
Don't be a fool.
Darling, why should you cling
to some fading thing that used to be?
If you can't forget,
Don't worry 'bout me.
