Hellen Forrest and Dick Haymes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do.
With all your faults, I love you still,
It had to be you, wonderful you,
It had to be you.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
With all your faults, I love you still.
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you.

My copy sadly has a crack in the first 5 seconds (that I've been able to stop advancing with nail polish)--but it's never sounded like this! Thanks again for providing us with this super-clean-copy!!

This song is 100 years old this year (2024). I guess it took 20 years for Dick Haymes and Helem Forrest to do it right.
