| The Song: Written for the 1942 musical "Sweater Girl" in which it was sung by Betty Jane Rhodes (can also be heard as background music in many other Paramount movies of the era- eg 'Sabrina' 1954). Harry James took it to No #1 in his version that had a vocal by Helen Forrest. |
| Lyrics: All our friends keep knocking at the door They've asked me out a hundred times or more But all I say is, "Leave me in the gloom" And here I stay within my lonely room 'Cause... I don't want to walk without you, Baby Walk without my arm about you, Baby I thought the day you left me behind I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind But now I find that I don't want to walk without the sunshine Why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine? Oh, Baby, please come back or you'll break my heart for me 'Cause I don't want to walk without you No, siree. |
