[Dixielandjazz] Verse to "If I Had You"

[Barb Jordan]

Thanks for your research Phil.

I too like verses and since I really like to sing this song, I thought I would add the verse.

And I agree, not all verses are great so I will take your advice and leave the song as is. My favourite rendition of the song is by Jo Stafford.

Cheers,

Barbara
