By Victor Young, Ned Washington & Bing Crosby1932
One of Bing Crosby's signature tunes, introduced and even co-written by Der Bingle. At least 20 major versions of the song would be recorded in the next couple of decades. Although less heard these days, it is a Crosby song that instantly conjures of the time from which it originates.
Lyrics:
I need your love so badly,
I love you oh so madly,
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you.
I thought at last I found you,
But other loves 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 scheming,
I know I'm only dreaming.
For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you.
Recorded By:
Frank Sinatra
Billie Holiday
Mel Torme
Stan Getz
Duke Ellington
