Ruth Etting — Im Yours

Ask the sky above and ask the earth below Why I'm so in love and why I love you so Couldn't tell you, though I try, dear Just why, dear, I'm yours When you went away, you left a glowing spark Trying to be gay is whistling in the dark I am only what you make me Come take me, I'm yours How happy I would be to beg and borrow Or sorrow with you Even though I knew tomorrow You'd say we were through If we drift apart, then I'll be lost alone Though you use my heart for just a stepping stone How can I help dreaming of you? I love you, I'm yours Ever since we parted with the love we started with I can't erase you from my mind Really, it's regrettable, you're non-forgettable Every place I go, your face I find What would nighttime be with every star away? What is life to me when you are far away? Ask the sky above and ask the earth below Why I'm so in love and why do I love you so Couldn't tell you, though I try, dear Just why, dear, I'm yours When you went away, you left a glowing spark Trying to be gay is like whistling in the dark I am only what you make me Come take me, I'm yours How happy I would be to beg and borrow Or sorrow with you Even though I knew tomorrow You'd say we were through If we drift apart, then I'll be lost alone Though you use my heart for only a stepping stone How can I help dreaming of you? I love you, I'm yours
