Jim - Patti Page
Written By:Nelson Shawn/Ceasar Petrillo/Milton Samuels
Why am I sitting alone tonight
When I could be out where the lights are bright
It's all because of Jim
It's all because of Jim
Why am I wasting these precious years
Why am I crying these bitter tears
It's all because of Jim
It's all because of Jim
Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers
Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours
Don't know why I'm so crazy for Jim
Jim never tells me I'm his hearts desire
I never seem to set his love afire
Gone are the years I've wasted on him
Sometimes when I get feeling low
I say
Let's call it quits
Then I hang on and let him go
Breaking my heart in bits
Some day I know Jim will up and leave me
But even if he does you can believe me
I'll go on carrying the torch for him
I'll carry a torch for Jim
