The Mills Brothers And Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That brought me fame and fortune too
That book would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you
And if I should paint a picture too
That showed the loveliness of you
My art would be like my heart and me
To you because your love is
The beacon that lights up my way
To you because with you I know
One lifetime could be just one heavenly place
If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wondrous as you are
That star would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you
To you because your love is
A beacon that lights up my way
To you because with you I know
One lifetime could be just one heavenly place
If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wondrous as you are
That star would be like my heart and me

What a wonderful silky smooth song. Ella and The Mills Brothers are just perfect together, and the way The Mills Brothers mimic an entire little orchestra, only accompanied by a guitar, is both amazing and amusing. I love it!
