From “Something For the Boys”, 1943
Words and music by Cole Porter
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
A white seashore in moonlight immersed
A silent palm tree swaying
When out of nowhere you suddenly burst
And I found myself saying
Refrain:
Could it be you
The one I’m fated for?
Could it be you
The love I’ve waited for?
For lo, since you came along
And kindled the song in my heart
Why bother pretending?
The song is unending
Are you the dream
I always dream about?
Are we the team
I’m on the beam about?
Could be these rev’ries of mine
Are far too divine to come true
Or could it be really you?
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
