IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE
(Harry Steinberg, Chick Endor, Benson)

Betty Bolton Acc. By Small Band (Unknown)
Recorded May 1929



Sometimes I’m sorry I met you
Sometimes I smile through my tears
Somehow I’ll never forget you
Throughout all my lonely years

I was a dreamer who 
Thought that a dream came true
But it just wasn’t meant to be

I built a castle high
Up in a cloudless sky
But it just wasn’t meant for me

I thought I had captured a blue bird at last
While I stood enraptured it flew right past

I made a wish one day
But since you went away
I learned it wasn’t meant to be.

(Musical Break)

I thought I had captured a blue bird at last
While I stood enraptured it flew right past

I made a wish one day
But since you went away
I learned it wasn’t meant to be.
