Dear Dick,
I'm sure several listmates will come up with the dots.
Herewith the lyrics.
Regards,
Bill.

What'll I Do Lyrics
1923. Irving Berlin.

Verse:
Gone is the romance that was so divine.
'Tis broken and cannot be mended.
You must go your way,
And I must go mine.
But now that our love dreams have ended...

Chorus:
What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do?

What'll I do?
When I am wond'ring who
Is kissing you
What'll I do?

What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?
