Lyrics: Milton Samuels/Nelson Shawn/Caesar Petrillo
Music: Milton Samuels/Nelson Shawn/Caesar Petrillo
Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers
Jim never tried to warm my lonely hours
Don't know why I'm so crazy for Jim
Jim never tells me I'm his heart's desire
I just don't seem to set his love afire
Gone are the years I have 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
Someday I know that Jim will up and leave me
But even when he does you can believe me
I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim
Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers
Jim never tries to warm my lonely hours
Don't know why I'm so crazy for that Jim
Jim never tells me I'm his heart's desire
I just don't seem to set his love afire
Gone are the years I have 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
Someday I know that Jim will up and leave me
But even when he does you can believe me
I'll go on carry the torch for Jim
