All Or Nothing At All 1940

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 22 Oct 2002

All or nothing at all!
Half a love never appealed to me,
if your heart never could yield to me,
Then I'd rather have nothing at all!
All or nothing at all!
If it's love there is no in between,
why begin then cry for something that
might have been,
No I'd rather have nothing at all.
But please don't bring your lips
so close to my cheek,
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall.
The kiss in your eyes,
the touch of your hand
makes me weak,
and my heart may grow dizzy and fall.
And if I fell
under the spell of your call,
I would be caught in the undertow,
so, you see, I've got to say: "No!
No! All or nothing at all!
