how about me

Irving Berlin

Too Long, I held you close to my heart,
Too much, I loved you right from the start,
Too soon, you vanished out of my dreams,
Too late, to start all over it seems...

It's over, all over
And soon somebody else will make a fuss about you
But how about me?

It's over, all over
And soon somebody else will tell his friends about you
But how about me?

You'll find somebody new
But what am I to do?
I'll still remember you
When you have forgotten

And maybe, a baby
Will climb upon your knee and put its arms about you
But how about me?

Moonlight, was beaming down from the sky,
Lovelight, was gleaming deep in your eye,
Sunlight, for just a moment and then,
Twilight, and I was lonely again,

It's over, all over
And soon somebody else will tell his friends about you
But how about me?

You'll find somebody new
But what am I to do?
I'll still remember you
When you have forgotten

And maybe, a baby
Will climb upon your knee and put its arms about you
But how about me?
