The Song You Gave To Me 1933 'The Song You Gave Me'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 10 Jun 2004

You told me that you'd leave me,
I hated you to go.
The sunshine disappeared,
and everything seemed oh!
so grey. So grey above me.
You said: "We'll meet again,"
and as you turned your head
you sang a little strain,
I caught the words you said
and knew, that you really loved me.
And from that moment

I can be happy,
I can be gay,
drive all the stormy weather away,
singing the song that you gave to me.
Only to me,
I can be happy, tho' we're apart,
seems there's a bluebird close to my heart,
singing the song that you gave to me.
I want to spread it around
the world must know what I've found,
if ever you're feeling blue,
then let me sing it to you.
Only to you.
Everything seems too good to be true,
now I can be for ever with you,
singing the song that you gave to me.

I can be happy,
I can be gay,
drive all the stormy weather away,
singing the song that you gave to me.
Only to me,
I sing it over, time and again,
find I can always laugh at the rain,
singing the song that you gave to me,
whenever Fate is unkind,
it brings such peace to my mind,
if ever you're feeling blue,
then let me sing it to you,
only to you,
Soon as you hear it,
clouds will roll by.
You will be just as happy as I.
Singing the song that you gave to me.

I thought that life was dreary,
the world an empty sphere,
with shadows everywhere,
that never seemed to clear.
Each day just grey around me.
But then you came along
and soon the clouds were gone,
with just a simple song,
the shadows drifted on
the blue broke through
when you found me
and from that moment...

I can be happy,
I can be gay,
drive all the stormy weather away,
singing the song that you gave to me.
Only to me,
I can be happy, tho' we're apart,
seems there's a bluebird close to my heart,
singing the song that you gave to me.
I want to spread it around
the world must know what I've found,
if ever you're feeling blue,
then let me sing it to you.
Only to you.
Everything seems too good to be true,
now I can be for ever with you,
singing the song that you gave to me.

I can be happy,
I can be gay,
drive all the stormy weather away,
singing the song that you gave to me.
Only to me,
I sing it over, time and again,
find I can always laugh at the rain,
singing the song that you gave to me,
whenever Fate is unkind,
it brings such peace to my mind,
if ever you're feeling blue,
then let me sing it to you,
only to you,
Soon as you hear it,
clouds will roll by.
You will be just as happy as I.
Singing the song that you gave to me.
