I hadn't anyone till you
I was a lonely one till you
I used to lie awake and wonder if there could be,
A someone in the wide world just made for me
Now I see I had to save my love for you
I never gave my love till you
And thru my lonely heart demanding it
Cupid took a hand in it
I hadn't anyone till you.

I Hadn't Anyone 'til You
Artist: Lena Horne
Album: The Classic Lena Horne
Song Length: 2:44
George's Thoughts: While Lena's original version of this Billie Holiday classic is too slow for competition use, the strict-tempo versions on "Masters of Modern One" by Dancelife and Casa Musica's "Best of Ballroom Music, Part 5" have a perfect 29bpm tempo. Lena's song can also be found with its tempo increased to 29 on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 4."
Song Lyrics:
Dance: Slow Foxtrot
Bars per Minute: 27
This song has an easy beat structure that makes it suitable for all levels of dancing.
Too slow for competition.
