Footlights and Fools is a 1929 American sound (All-Talking) pre-Code film directed by William A. Seiter that was billed by Warner Brothers as an all-talking musical film and released in Vitaphone with Technicolor sequences.
This is considered a lost film with only the Vitaphone disks existing.

Lyrics:
The world has much to give, the little while we live
To make our dreams of love come true
Good friends, I have galore, but I want something more
The something more I want, is you
If I can’t have you, if you can’t have me
Will it make you blue, as blue as I will be?
If I can’t have you, all my love to share
There is no one who, could ever make me care
I will close my book of dreams, and seal it with a kiss
And lock your image in my memory
I’ll keep loving you, no one else will do
Sweetheart, if I can’t have you
If I can’t have you, if you can’t have me
Will it make you blue, as blue as I will be?
If I can’t have you, all my love to share
There is no one who, could ever make me care
I will close my book of dreams, and seal it with a kiss
And lock your image in my memory
I’ll keep loving you, no one else will do
Sweetheart, if I can’t have you
No one but you will do
