ONLY TRUST YOUR HEART
(Brodsky / Cahn)

as recorded by Joni James
with orchestra conducted by David Terry
1957


The stars may deceive you,
May vanish and leave you,
Be smart,
Only trust your heart!
The breeze, softly sighing,
In truth may be lying,
Be smart,
Only trust your heart!

The warmth of his kisses
May teach you what bliss is,
But this is a faithless lover's art!
Only trust your heart,
Not the firelight
That comes from the starlight!
Be smart,
Only trust your heart!

(Italian)

The warmth of his kisses
May teach you what bliss is,
But this is a faithless lover's art!
Only trust your heart,
Not the firelight
That comes from the starlight!
Be smart,
Only trust your heart!
