But Where Are You?

From the film “Follow the Fleet”, 1936
Words and music by Irving Berlin


The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

All alone I am yearning
To be with you again
For a spark is still burning
It will ever remain
But I’m yearning in vain

Chorus
The moon is high
The sky is blue
And here am I
But where are you?
A night like this
Was meant for two
And I am here
But where are you?
Have you forgotten
The night that we met?
With so much to remember
How could you forget?
The dreams I dream
Have yet to come true
My dreams and I are here
But where are you?
