AM I IN ANOTHER WORLD?
Ted Koehler / Bud Green

as rec by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm  
Dec 16th 1937 Hollywood


Am I in another world?
I'm afraid to look around me!
Am I in another world?
Can it be that love has found me?

What is this thrill,
This strange delight
That my heart has never known,
Until tonight, maybe until tonight?

Am I in another world?
Did I throw a lucky seven?
Have I suddenly been hurled
Into my idea of heaven?

I hate to wake, wake, wake at break of dawn, yeah,
Out of a dream, dream, dream and find you gone, gone, gone!
Am I in another world, baby,
Or am I just in love?
