Excerpt from "To Have And Have Not", 1944, Am I Blue



      The great Hoagy Carmichael, whose unique singing style, his superb piano playing and his illustrious career as a song writer, puts him firmly as one of the truly great popular musicians of the 20th century.


Am I blue, am I blue

Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you

How can you ask me am I blue

Why, wouldn't you be too, if each plan with your woman

Done fell through.


There was a time

When I was her only one

But now I'm the sad and lonely one, lonely

Was I gay, until today, now she's gone, and we're through

Am I blue.


   Lauren Bacall was 19 when this was shot.
