So Am I 1925 'Lady Be Good'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 11 Apr 2005

Just before I go,
I'd like to know if maybe
now and then you'll give a thought to me.
Yes: I think I can in fact,
I plan to keep you in a corner of my memory.
It won't be hard to think of you each day,
but I'm afraid when you are far away.
Maybe you'll grow fond of something blonde.
No, that will never, never be!

Leaving you, me, oh my!
I am blue, so am I.
When I leave, will you sigh?
I shall grieve, so shall I.
Isn't it just wonderful how we agree!
Plain to see it's not a case of
you for you, me for me.
How I hate this goodbye!
Funny thing, so do I!

Cross my heart, hope to die.
Feel a thrill, so do I.
But I'm poor, me, oh my!
That's alright, so am I.
Isn't it just wonderful how we agree!
Makes me think that maybe
I was meant for you, you for me.
I'm in love, how I sigh.
Don't be sil' so am I!
