This version did not chart but
In 1930 two versions did chart: Rudy Vallee at # 2 and Guy Lombardo at # 11.
Sung in the revue "The Little Show" by Clifton Webb
Sung in the 1953 film "The Band Wagon" by Fred Astaire and Jack Buchanan
I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began
Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air
My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl I'd found
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air
My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl
The one girl I'd found
