"You Send Me" (Sam Cooke)
Let's fall in love, why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance
Oh Baby, let's close our eyes and make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
Let's fall in love
Darling you send me, I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do, woh---
First I thought it was infactuation
But oh it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting just to marry you and take you home (and take you home)
(Oh) Oh, let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance
Let's fall in love
Oh, at first I thought it was infactuation (factuation)
Oh it's lasted so (ooh) long
Now I find (Now I find myself) myself wanting just to marry you
And take you home (And take you home)
(Let's fall in love) Oh, oh, you send me
I know (why shouldn't we tall in love) you, you, you, you send me
(Oh, our hearts are made of it) Darling, you send me (so why don't we take a chance)
(And fall in love, in love) Honest you do, honest you do, love--
(Scat and continue scatting)
You thrill me, Darling you, you, you, you, you thrill me
I know, I know you thrill me
Honest you do, honest you do
Woh, you send me, I know you send me..
(Continue scat)
