For The Want Of You
Composer(s): Eddie Cherkose; Jule Styne
Performer(s): George Melachrino



For the want of a dream a night was lost
For the want of a night a star was lost
For the want of a star the sky was lost

As I am lost for the want of you
For the want of a note a tune was lost
For the want of a tune a song was lost
For the want of a song a dream was lost
As I am lost for the want of you

For I can only reminisce
And watch the dreams go by
It takes two to share a kiss
Only one for a sigh

For the want of a kiss two lips were lost
For the want of two lips a heart was lost
Darling just like my heart I'm completely lost
For the want of you
