It Had to Be You
The Norman Luboff Choir & the Melachrino Strings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It had to be you, it had to be you.
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.
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.

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.

Great music, but many long-playing commercials. Other albums are great for background music, this one needs to be monitored. Great selection of music though.

@TFWelsh

I agree re commercials! Seńor Battaglini has sadly died, so who is sucking up this revenue?

@conniejohnson3029

@@TFWelsh Oh what horrible news. Gustavo Battaglini passed away? I don't understand. When, How? I would say family or friends have stepped up. I am so sorry to hear that. Thank you for letting me know and thank you for the post.
