One of the industry's finest musicians is a fellow named Victor Young
He wrote some great songs for me
Sweet Sue, Street of Dreams, Foolish Heart, to name just a few
And also this somewhat lugubrious lament
The lyrics, I believe, are by Ned Washington
I need your love so badly
I love you all so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I'd found you
But other arms surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover that I'm the lover meant for you
And I'd be true
But what's the good of schemin'?
I know I must be dreamin'
For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
