When I'm Looking At You - 1929 - from 'Rogue Song'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 07 Dec 2001

You may not care when I'm near you,
and yet you fill my dreams;
for when I see you and hear you,
how diff'rent this world seems.

Why is the sun brighter?
Why is the day lighter?
What makes the blue of the sea bluer
when I'm looking at you?
Why are the stars nearer?
Why is the sky clearer?
What makes the song of the birds newer
when I'm looking at you?
Why are the wild flow'rs
showing colours glowing?
Why are the wild ferns growing taller too?
Why is the sun brighter?
Why is my heart lighter?
What makes the promise of Heaven truer
when I'm looking at you?

Why is the sun brighter?
Why is the day lighter?
What makes the blue of the sea bluer
when I'm looking at you?
Why are the stars nearer?
Why is the sky clearer?
What makes the song of the birds newer
when I'm looking at you?
Why are the wild flow'rs
showing colours glowing?
Why are the wild ferns growing taller too?
Why is the sun brighter?
Why is my heart lighter?
What makes the promise of Heaven truer
when I'm looking at you?

Yet though I wonder about you,
and what your charm can be,
I know what life means without you
an empty world for me.

Why is the sun brighter?
Why is the day lighter?
What makes the blue of the sea bluer
when I'm looking at you?
Why are the stars nearer?
Why is the sky clearer?
What makes the song of the birds newer
when I'm looking at you?
Why are the wild flow'rs
showing colours glowing?
Why are the wild ferns growing taller too?
Why is the sun brighter?
Why is my heart lighter?
What makes the promise of Heaven truer
when I'm looking at you?

Why is the sun brighter?
Why is the day lighter?
What makes the blue of the sea bluer
when I'm looking at you?
Why are the stars nearer?
Why is the sky clearer?
What makes the song of the birds newer
when I'm looking at you?
Why are the wild flow'rs
showing colours glowing?
Why are the wild ferns growing taller too?
Why is the sun brighter?
Why is my heart lighter?
What makes the promise of Heaven truer
when I'm looking at you?
