Who Am I? - 1931 - Carroll Gibbons and The Savoy Orpheans

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 Oct 2001

I could fall for you madly,
Dear, I need you so badly;
I'd give all I had gladly;
If you'd have me.

Who am I to ever expect you'd care?
Who am I to offer my little share?
You're so sweet,
it really would not be fair
to hope you'd care for me.
Who am I adoring you as I do?
You don't know, but nevertheless it's true;
Still it's nice pretending that I have you,
and that you care for me, dear.
You're mine only in dreams!
There is no one but you.
I keep making my schemes,
knowing they won't come true.
There's the moon so high in the sky above!
Night is here,
you're all that I'm thinking of.
Who am I to whisper a word of love,
and hope you'd care for me?

Who am I to ever expect you'd care?
Who am I to offer my little share?
You're so sweet,
it really would not be fair
to hope you'd care for me.
Who am I adoring you as I do?
You don't know, but nevertheless it's true;
Still it's nice pretending that I have you,
and that you care for me, dear.
You're mine only in dreams!
There is no one but you.
I keep making my schemes,
knowing they won't come true.
There's the moon so high in the sky above!
Night is here,
you're all that I'm thinking of.
Who am I to whisper a word of love,
and hope you'd care for me?

You're so far up above me,
it's ridiculous of me
to suppose you could love me,
that's why I sigh,

Who am I to ever expect you'd care?
Who am I to offer my little share?
You're so sweet,
it really would not be fair
to hope you'd care for me.
Who am I adoring you as I do?
You don't know, but nevertheless it's true;
Still it's nice pretending that I have you,
and that you care for me, dear.
You're mine only in dreams!
There is no one but you.
I keep making my schemes,
knowing they won't come true.
There's the moon so high in the sky above!
Night is here,
you're all that I'm thinking of.
Who am I to whisper a word of love,
and hope you'd care for me?

Who am I to ever expect you'd care?
Who am I to offer my little share?
You're so sweet,
it really would not be fair
to hope you'd care for me.
Who am I adoring you as I do?
You don't know, but nevertheless it's true;
Still it's nice pretending that I have you,
and that you care for me, dear.
You're mine only in dreams!
There is no one but you.
I keep making my schemes,
knowing they won't come true.
There's the moon so high in the sky above!
Night is here,
you're all that I'm thinking of.
Who am I to whisper a word of love,
and hope you'd care for me?
