You Never Can Tell 1914 Kern

Does it seem to you
as it seems to me?
For it seems to me
this world is just about right.
Life is like a song
sung the whole day long
Nothing can go wrong,
the sun was never so bright.
Why is it perhaps you'll guess
and if you won't I'll have to confess.
Just when you think you're all right,
love comes along and then it's Good Night

Oh you never can tell,
oh you never can say
when your heart will rebel,
hearts are funny that way.
You may think you stand the test
but you find you're like the rest,
Oh you cannot tell why
and you cannot tell how
it may be by and by
or it may happen now
fate arranged it long ago
so you never can tell you know.

Oh you never can tell,
oh you never can say
when your heart will rebel,
hearts are funny that way.
You may think you stand the test
but you find you're like the rest,
Oh you cannot tell why
and you cannot tell how
it may be by and by
or it may happen now
fate arranged it long ago
so you never can tell you know.

Do I seem the same?
Haven't changed my name
nothing else the same
seems as it was yesterday
ev'rything looks new
even skies are blue.
Some new point of view
in all I do or I say.
I know why I won't deny
and you can tell I know if you try
I thought love had passed me by
there's no one more astonished than I.

Oh you never can tell,
oh you never can say
when your heart will rebel,
hearts are funny that way.
You may think you stand the test
but you find you're like the rest,
Oh you cannot tell why
and you cannot tell how
it may be by and by
or it may happen now
fate arranged it long ago
so you never can tell you know.

Oh you never can tell,
oh you never can say
when your heart will rebel,
hearts are funny that way.
You may think you stand the test
but you find you're like the rest,
Oh you cannot tell why
and you cannot tell how
it may be by and by
or it may happen now
fate arranged it long ago
so you never can tell you know.
