EVERY SO OFTEN

(Harry Warren (m) / Johnny Mercer (l) )

As sung by Patti Page on < Patti Page The Singles 1946 - 1952 >

This is my song
This is my melody
This is my song
The very soul of me.

Every note is a part
Of the love in my heart for you
Every word written there
Is a kind of a prayer 
That you will love me too.

This is my song
This is my everything
Here is my heart
The song I sing.

And I know if you stay
When the words and music are through
I’ll sing my song
For no one but you.

(bridge)

And I know if you stay
When the words and music are through
I’ll sing my song
For no one but you.
