This is one of the earliest recordings of Irving Berlin’s hit song “When I Lost You.”

The roses each one
Met with the sun
Sweetheart, when I met you
The sunshine had fled
The roses were dead
Sweetheart, when I lost you
I lost the sunshine and roses
I lost the heavens of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow
I lost the morning dew
I lost the angel who gave me
Summer, the whole winter through
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness
When I lost you

I lost the heavens of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow
I lost the morning dew
I lost the angel who gave me
Summer, the whole winter through
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness
When I lost you
When I Lost You was written by Irving Berlin.
Henry Burr released When I Lost You on Fri Jan 10 1913.
