IT'S BREAKING MY HEART TO KEEP AWAY FROM YOU
(Anthony Newley)

as recorded by Perry Como
(radio transcription)
1943


I see your face, hear your voice, I dream the whole night through,
It's breakin' my heart to keep away from you!
I see you smile, kiss your lips, and then you fade from view,
It's breakin' my heart to keep away from you!

We were schoolmate sweethearts, the thrill of bygone years,
But now you love another and my eyes are filled with tears.
I love you so, that I know, since you found someone new,
It's breakin' my heart to keep away from you!

We were schoolmate sweethearts, the thrill of bygone years,
But now you love another and my eyes are filled with tears.
I love you so, that I know, since you found someone new,
It's breakin' my heart to keep away from you!
