IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY
M Field / N Oliphant

as rec by Billie Holiday & her Orch  
Sep 12th 1940


The same old story,
It's as old as the stars above;
The same old story
Of a boy and a girl in love.

The scene - same old moonlight,
The time - same old June night,
Romance the theme,
Two hearts awake, deep in a dream.

The same old story,
It's been told too much before,
The same old story,
But it's worth telling just once more!

It's all fun and laughter,
Then live ever after in ecstasy,
The same old story,
But it's new to me!

The same old story,
It's been told too much before,
The same old story,
But it's worth telling just once more!

It's all fun and laughter,
Then live ever after in ecstasy,
The same old story,
But it's new to me!
