It's me for you dear, and you for me
We'll fuss, we'll quarrel and tears start to brew
But after the tears our love will smile through
I'm sure that I could never hide
The thrill I get when you're by my side
And when we're older we'll proudly declare
Wasn't ours a lovely love affair
Our love affair was meant to be
It's me for you dear, and you for me
We'll fuss, we'll quarrel and tears start to brew
But after the tears our love will smile through
I'm sure that I could never hide
The thrill I get when you're by my side
And when we're older we'll proudly declare
Wasn't ours a lovely love affair

Nobody could lip sync to their playback songs better Judy Garland. She prerecords the song according to the scene where it sounds like she was actually moving and dancing to the music in the recording studio.. She’s a genius and a natural. Watching her shows just how untalented these singers and performers today are! God bless you Judy. You’re sorely missed ❤️😞

I agree - best lip-syncher ever! That's why I'm so careful when I replace the mono with stereo. I want to make sure I honor her amazing ability to match herself.
