說起torch song還有另外一首由Lenny Welch所唱紅的Since I Fell For You，Lenny Welch是一位來自紐澤西州的黑人抒情歌手，他所唱的這首Since I Fell For You在1963年曾獲得過排行榜第3名，並且在1967年重新發行過，Since I Fell For You與上次介紹由Aaron Neville所唱的Tell It Like It Is是詮釋unrequited or lost love即單相思或逝去的戀情的torch song『傷心情歌』最經典的二首歌，這首歌最早由Harptones（1954）唱過，後來還有Laura Lee（1972）、Charlie Rich（1976）與Hodges,James＆Smith（1977）重唱，但以Lenny Welch所唱的這一版最有韻味。
Since I Fell For You
When you just give love, and never get love,
you'd better let love depart.
I know it's so, and yet I know,
I can't get you out of my heart.
You made me leave my happy home.
You took my love, and now you've gone,
since I fell for you ...
Love brings such misery and pain.
I guess I'll never be the same,
since I fell for you ...
Well it's too bad, and it's too sad,
but I'm in love with you ...
You love me, then you snub me.
But what can I do, I'm still in love with you.
Well, I guess I'll never see the light.
I get the blues most every night,
since I fell for you ...
Since I fell for you.
