HEART YOU STOLE FROM ME, THE
Feather

as rec by Maxine Sullivan w John Kirby & his Orch 
Dec 18th 1940 New York


You can take away the golden daylight,
The evening breezes and the moon at midnight,
But please bring back the heart you stole from me!

Take the memories of lovely hours,
The old love letters and the faded flowers,
But please bring back the heart you stole from me!

Take away each sign and token
And cast them all aside!
Souvenirs, so crushed and broken
Of a romance that died.

You can take away whatever else you may, dear,
But still you know I'll always hope and pray, dear,
That you'll bring back the heart you stole from me!

Take the memories of lovely hours,
The old love letters and the faded flowers,
But please bring back the heart you stole from me!

Take away each sign and token
And cast them all aside!
Souvenirs, so crushed and broken
Of a romance that died.

You can take away whatever else you may, dear,
But still you know I'll always hope and pray, dear,
That you'll bring back the heart you stole from me!
