I’ll Never Be the Same
I associate this song mostly with Venuti-Lang and Billie Holiday in two very different versions. It was written by Matty Malneck and Frank Signorelli, and it was originally an instrumental with the title Little Buttercup. Gus Kahn wrote the lyrics that were added later.
I'll never be the same
Stars have lost their meaning for me
I'll never be the same
Nothing's what it once used to be
And when the songbirds that sing, tell me it's spring
I can't believe their song
Once love was king
But kings can be wrong
I'll never be the same
There is such an ache in my heart
Never be the same since we're apart
Though there's a lot that a smile may hide
I know down deep inside
I'll never be the same
Never be the same again
