"Ghost of a Chance" (Gene Austin, 1932)

A mesmerizing favorite from Halloween week, 1932--written for the Broadway review, "Murder at the Vanities". Popular tenor Gene Austin performs with Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey's fine orchestra:

A GHOST OF A CHANCE

I love you oh so madly
I need your love so badly
But I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I had found you
But other arms surround you
And I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with you

If you'd surrender just for
A tender kiss or two
You might discover that
I'm the lover meant for you
And I'd be true

So what's the good of all my scheming?
I know I must be dreaming
For I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with you...
