Andy Kirk and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She never keeps me feelin' blue
I'm prepared to tell the world
It's you, it's you, it's you
Who's the one that I adore?
Keeps her little daddy running back for more
I'm prepared to tell the world
Why did I ever conceal it?
I think it's time to reveal it
Who's kept me thinking of
A little home for two?
I'm prepared to tell the world
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you!

If you could see me now, you'd know how blue I've been
Just one glance and you'd comprehend how sad I've been feeling
Perhaps then you'd realize I'm still in love with you.
You might finally understand that my love for you is still alive.
If you could see me now, you'd find me being brave
Being courageous is all you'd see in me right now, if only you were here.
And trying awfully hard to make my tears behave
I'm making a valiant effort to hold back my tears, though it's a hard task.
But that's quite impossible, I'm still in love with you.
Yet despite my efforts, I can't help but still have feelings of love for you.
You'll happen my way on some mem'rable day
There will come a notable day when we will run into each other.
And the month will be May for a while.
It might happen during the month of May, who knows for how long.
I'll try to smile but can I play the part
I'll do my best to put on a happy face, but can I really fake it?
Without my heart behind the smile?
It's difficult to pretend when my heart isn't really in it.
The way I feel for you I never could disguise
I've never been able to hide my true feelings for you.
The look of love is written plainly in my eyes.
Anyone who looks at me can clearly see the love I still have for you in my eyes.
I think you'd be mine again if you could see me now.
If only you could see me right now, I believe you'd come back to me.
