I Had Myself A True Love - Dinah Shore

I had myself a true love

A true love

Who was something to see

I had myself a true love

At least that's what I kept on telling me

The first thing in the morning

I still try to think of a way to be with him

Some part of the evening

And that's the way

I live through the day

She had herself a true love

But now he's gone

And left her for good

The lord knows I've done heard those back yard

Whispers going around the neighborhood

There may be a lot of things I miss

A lot of things I don't know

But I do know this

Now I ain't got no love

And once upon a time

I had a true love

In the evening

In the doorway

While I stand there and waiting for his coming

With the house swept and the clothes hung

In a pot on the stove there's a hot meal

Where is he while I watch the rising newel

With that girl

He might down all so lone

No

That there ain't no way

That it used to be

No

And everybody keeps on telling me

There are may be a lot of things I miss

A lot of things I don't know

But I do know this

Now I ain't got no love

And once upon a time

I had a true love
