I Know Why And So Do You 1941

You possess a magic something
that has me spellbound
when you are near,
just a certain charming something,
when you're beside me miracles appear,
for when I look at you,
life's a grand illusion.

Why do robins sing in December,
long before the springtime is due?
And even though it's snowing,
violets are growing,
I know why and so do you.
Why do breezes sigh ev'ry evening,
whispering your name as they do?
And why have I the feeling
stars are on my ceiling?
I know why and so do you.
When you smile at me,
I hear gypsy violins,
when you dance with me,
I'm in heaven when the music begins.
I can see the sun when it's raining,
hiding ev'ry cloud from my view,
and why do I see rainbows
when you're in my arms?
I know why and so do you.

Why do robins sing in December,
long before the springtime is due?
And even though it's snowing,
violets are growing,
I know why and so do you.
Why do breezes sigh ev'ry evening,
whispering your name as they do?
And why have I the feeling
stars are on my ceiling?
I know why and so do you.
When you smile at me,
I hear gypsy violins,
when you dance with me,
I'm in heaven when the music begins.
I can see the sun when it's raining,
hiding ev'ry cloud from my view,
and why do I see rainbows
when you're in my arms?
I know why and so do you.
