This song started going through my mind unbidden as I went about my chores this afternoon. I began to remember fragments of the lyrics ("what'll I do with just a photograph...") and realized that my subconscious had selected a perfect theme song for my story (see previous post). Cue it for the end...I just listened to The McGarrigle Hour version. Ahhhh, so lovely...

What'll I Do
by Irving Berlin (1923)
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 wondering 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?
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?
