What'll I Do - 1924

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 18 Mar 2002

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,
What'll I do when you are far away
And I am blue, what'll I do
What'll I do
When I am wond'ring 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
What'll I do when you are far away
And I am blue, what'll I do
What'll I do
When I am wond'ring 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?
