I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU
Carl Sigman (m) Arthur Williams (l)   1953


Arthur Prysock w Count Basie & his Orch   rec 1965


also-
Frank Sinatra w Nelson Riddle & his Orch '53


I could have told you she would hurt you,
She'd love you awhile and desert you,
If only you'd asked I could have told you so!
I could have saved you some crying,
Yes, I could have told you she was lying,
But you were in love and you didn't want to know.


I hear her now as I toss and turn and try to sleep,
I hear her now making promises she'll never keep;
And now it's over and done with,
She'll find someone new to have fun with!
Through all of my tears I could have told you so.


And now it's over and done with,
She'll find someone new to have fun with!
Through all of my tears I could have told you so,
Through all of my tears I could have told you so.
