A 1928 popular song
words and music by Irving Berlin
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Too long I held you close to my heart
Too much I loved you right from the start
Too soon you vanished out of my dreams
Too late to start all over, it seems
Chorus
It’s over, all over
And soon somebody else
Will make a fuss about you
But how about me?
It’s over, all over
And soon somebody else
Will tell his friends about you
But how about me?
You’ll find somebody new
But what am I to do?
I’ll still remember you
When you have forgotten
And maybe a baby
Will climb upon your knee
And put it’s arms about you
But how about me?
- Moonlight was beaming down from the skies
Lovelight was gleaming deep in your eyes
Sunlight for just a moment and then
Twilight and I was lonely again
