Did Anyone Ever Tell You 1937 Virginia Bruce

When I look at you
I can't believe my eyes,
When I look at you
I fear they're telling lies,
How can I describe you?
What is there to say?
Let me ask a question
in my funny little way:

Did anyone ever tell you you're lovely?
Did anyone ever say you're sublime?
And if I were to try to impress you
would I be wasting my time?
Did anyone ever tell you you're charming?
Has anyone dared to mention romance?
And would I seem too bold if I told you.
I'm just waiting my chance?
When I start to sing your praises
have I lots of competition?
If I coined some brand new phrases
would they just be repetition?
Did anyone ever tell you you're lovely
if nobody else has told you so far,
then may I be the first one
to tell you you are!

Did anyone ever tell you you're lovely?
Did anyone ever say you're sublime?
And if I were to try to impress you
would I be wasting my time?
Did anyone ever tell you you're charming?
Has anyone dared to mention romance?
And would I seem too bold if I told you.
I'm just waiting my chance?
When I start to sing your praises
have I lots of competition?
If I coined some brand new phrases
would they just be repetition?
Did anyone ever tell you you're lovely
if nobody else has told you so far,
then may I be the first one
to tell you you are!
