You'd Be Hard To Replace 1948 'The Barkleys of Broadway'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Sep 2005

Frequently we bicker,
But you know that there's no one but you.
[She:] Don't we make up quicker,
Even when love looks black and blue?
[He:] Oh, happiness seems hopeless
when peace flies up the flue,
[She:] Let the plot grow thicker,
Always there'll be a happy ending in view;

[He:] All that I know is
you'd be hard to replace,
Where else in all this world
such loveliness and such grace?
The poet often chanted
The love he found divine;
But never was he granted
A ladylove like mine.
Deep down, deep down inside,
my secret heart knows,
The more that I'm with you,
the more and more my rapture grows;
Without you at my side,
I fear no future could I face,
For you'd be oh, so hard to replace.

[She:] All that I know is
you'd be hard to replace,
Who else in all this world
would thrill me with his embrace?
No happiness denied me,
No cloud is in my sky;
With you to hold and guide me,
No others need apply.
Deep down, deep down inside,
each night there's a plea,
The two of us remain as one
for all the days to be,
Without you all those days
would be just empty time and space,
For you'd be oh, so hard to replace.
