They Can't Take That Away from Me
Rosemary Clooney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can't take that away from me

We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three




The way you changed my life
No they can't take that away from me
