NEW LOVE IS OLD, A
Jerome Kern (m) Otto Harbach (l)  1931

as rec by Georges Metaxa w Leonard Joy & his Band  
March 1932 New York


She brings you a new smile,
For new lovers do smile,
She tends you a new smile,
A new love is told.
She brings you some new thrills,
Some tender and true thrills,
but after a few thrills,
Your new love is old!

When she makes signs at you and you realise that you adore her,
And when you understand sweet arms full of wonder stand before you,
Take what she offers and be gay,
Love hates a man who runs away!
Hearts ache and lips can smile
At thoughts that recall another day.

She brings you a new smile,
For new lovers do smile,
She tends you a new smile,
A new love is told.
She brings you some new thrills,
Some tender and true thrills,
but after a few thrills,
Your new love is old!

She brings you some new thrills,
Some tender and true thrills,
but after a few thrills,
Your new love is old!
