How About Me? 1928 Irving Berlin

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.

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 its arms about you,
but how about me?

Moonlight was beaming
down from the skies,
Love light was gleaming
deep in your eyes,
Sunlight for just a moment and then.
Twilight, and I was lonely again.

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 its arms about you,
but how about me?

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 its arms about you,
but how about me?
