"I Wonder Why?"
I hear singing and there's no one there
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on air
I wonder why, I wonder why?
I keep tossing in my sleep at night
And what's more, I've lost my appetite
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyes, I wonder why?
You don't need analyzin'
It is not so surprisin'
That you feel very strange but nice
Your heart goes pitter-patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there once or twice
Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rub down with a velvet glove
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick, you're just in love
(Irving Berlin, Copyright 1950) from Call Me Madam, Ethel Merman, Donald O'Conner, Vera-Ellen, George Sanders. Sung by Ethel Merman and Donald O'Conner.
I just watched it and it's still classic. :-) This song has no representation for my current status. That song, and the next were just so amazing as I watched it a gain, that I decided to write them out.
"It's a Lovely Day Today"
It's a lovely day today
So whatever you've got to do
You've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true
And I hope whatever you've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
For I'd really like to stay
It's a lovely day today
And whatever you've got to do
I'd be so happy to be doing it with you
But if you've got something that must be done
And it can only be done by one
There is nothing more to say
Except it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day
It's a lovely day today
And whatever I've got to do
I've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true
But perhaps whatever I've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
If it is then you could stay
It's a lovely day today
But you're probably busy too
So I suppose there's nothing we can do
For if you've got something that must be done
And it can only be done by one
There is nothing more to say
Except it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day
It's a lovely day today
If you've something that must get done
Now don't forget two heads are better than just one
And besides I'm certain if you knew me
You'd find I'm very good company
Won't you kindly let me stay?
It's a lovely day today
And whatever we've got to do
We've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true
And I know whatever we've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
I'll say it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day
Also Irving Berlin, Also Call Me Madam, sung by Donald O'Conner and Vera-Ellen.
