From the 1937 musical “You Never Know”
Words and music by Cole Porter.
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’m so in love
And though it gives me joy intense
I can’t decipher, if ‘m a lifer
Or if it’s just a first offense
I’m so in love
I’ve no sense of values left at all
Is this a playtime affaire of Maytime
Or is it a windfall?
Refrain
Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?
Have I the right hunch or have I the wrong?
Will it be Bach that I hear
Or just a Cole Porter song?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking on
Or is it at long last love
