They Say - 1938

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 14 Sept 2001

Morning, noon and evening,
I have wonder'd when,
you will give a thought to me;
Tho' my friends have told me,
time and time again,
such a love can never be.

They say you have no lips
for a fool such as I,
They say you just believe
in hello and goodbye,
and they say that the one I admire
isn't even remotely concerned,
and that I'll go on playing with fire
until I have learned,
my heart has been burned.
They say I shouldn't dream
of your face in the moon.
They say all of my dreams
will be nightmares too soon.
Let them talk,
let them think what they want to
if it makes them feel happy that way,
I know I'll always love you
no matter what they say.

They say you have no lips
for a fool such as I,
They say you just believe
in hello and goodbye,
and they say that the one I admire
isn't even remotely concerned,
and that I'll go on playing with fire
until I have learned,
my heart has been burned.
They say I shouldn't dream
of your face in the moon.
They say all of my dreams
will be nightmares too soon.
Let them talk,
let them think what they want to
if it makes them feel happy that way,
I know I'll always love you
no matter what they say.

Maybe I am foolish,
loving in this way,
building all my hopes on you;
Nothing now can change me,
Blindly I obey,
even tho' you prove untrue.

They say you have no lips
for a fool such as I,
They say you just believe
in hello and goodbye,
and they say that the one I admire
isn't even remotely concerned,
and that I'll go on playing with fire
until I have learned,
my heart has been burned.
They say I shouldn't dream
of your face in the moon.
They say all of my dreams
will be nightmares too soon.
Let them talk,
let them think what they want to
if it makes them feel happy that way,
I know I'll always love you
no matter what they say.
