rec Sep 7th 1950 Los Angeles
I've never been in love before,
Now all at once it's you,
It's you for evermore.
I've never been in love before,
I thought my heart was safe
And I thought I knew the score.
But this is wine
That's all too strange and strong,
I'm full of foolish song,
And out my song must pour!
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in,
I've really never been in love before.
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in,
I've really never been in love before.
