Sarah Vaughan — I Was Telling Him About You

His arms were around me, his eyes were aglow The moment was tender, the music was low But while we were dancing, I think you should know I was telling him about you He kept coming closer, the magic was there He wore an expression that made people stare It looked so romantic but, darling, I swear I was telling him about you When you danced by and caught my eye You didn't say a word You turned about and walked right out And the silence was the loudest I've ever heard Come back to me darling. I must make you see That things aren't always as they seem to be The boy in my arms meant nothing to me I was telling him about you
