When You're with Somebody Else - Ruth Etting

In your smiling eyes

I see paradise

When you’re close to my heart

Never thought I could

Never dreamed I would

Miss you when we’re apart

Maybe you’ve doubted me too

Here’s how I feel about you

When you’re gone, I wonder on

To all the world I’m like a stranger

And I’m so forlorn, when you’re with somebody else

Each night and day, the skies are grey

The birds, the bees, the trees

The summer breezes, fade away

When you’re with somebody else

Its hard to care, and have to share

The love that I’ve known

Oh can’t you see I want you all for my own?

I know that love’s a game

So who’s to blame?

I hope, and pray, and keep on wondering

If you feel the same

When you’re with somebody else

Oh, when you’re gone, I wonder on

To all the world I’m like a stranger

And I’m so forlorn, when you’re with somebody else

Each night and day, the skies are grey

The birds, the bees, the trees

The summer breezes, just fade away

When you’re with somebody else

Its hard to care, and have to share

The love, sweet love that I’ve known

Can’t you see, I want you all for my own?

I know that love’s a game, so who’s to blame?

I hope and pray, and keep on wondering

If you feel the same, when you’re with somebody

When you’re with somebody else
