IF IT'S YOU
(Milton Drake / Ben Oakland / Artie Shaw)

Dinah Shore

Also recorded by:
The Marx Brothers; Artie Shaw.


Sitting by the fireside and dreaming lovely things
While I'm waiting for a knock or a precious call
Suddenly I'm startled, my heart leaps up and sings
As I hear familiar footsteps along the hall

If it's you, when a knock comes at my door
If it's you, then I'll rush across the floor
But if you're not there the sky falls on my schemes again
I close the door and rush back to my dreams again
When I'm blue, and the phone rings in the gloom,
If it's you, there's a rainbow in my room
And when someone kneels with someone making vows two
If it's me, I'll be in heaven, if it's you.

(Orchestral Interlude)

When I'm blue, and the phone rings in the gloom,
If it's you, there's a rainbow in my room
And when someone kneels with someone making vows two
If it's me, I'll be in heaven, if it's you.
