I THOUGHT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
Carter / Dilbeck

as rec by The Nat "King" Cole Trio 
May 23rd 1945 Hollywood
 

It's you that I'm just mad about,
I thought you ought to know;
It's you that I can't live without,
I thought you ought to know.

Skies seem to be bluer,
Birds sing sweeter too,
But all this never happens,
Except when I'm with you!

Your eyes are like the stars above,
Your smile a sweet caress;
It's you alone I'm dreaming of,
I might as well confess!

When you're in my arms,
I'm thrilled from head to toe,
I thought you ought to know!

When you're in my arms,
I'm thrilled from head to toe,
I thought you ought to know,
I thought you ought to know!
