IF YOU EVER SHOULD LEAVE
Saul Chaplin (m) Sammy Cahn (l)


Ella Fitzgerald & her Savoy Eight   
rec May 24th 1937 New York

Edythe Wright w Tommy Dorsey & his Orch '37


If you ever should leave,
Why would I want to live?
Darling you must believe,
Won't you try to forgive?


What a fool I would be
If I fooled with your love for me;
I'd be wrong from the start,
I'd be unfair to my heart!


So whatever you do,
Don't you say that we're through!
I'd do nothing but grieve
If you ever should leave.


Oh what a fool I would be
If I fooled with your love for me;
I'd be wrong from the start,
I'd be unfair to my heart!


So whatever you do,
Don't you say that we're through!
I'd do nothing but grieve
If you ever should leave.
I'd do nothing but grieve
If you ever should leave.
