SOMEONE TO TELL IT TO
(Jimmy Van Heusen / Sammy Cahn / Dolores Fuller)


Nat King Cole - 1963


What good is a dream, a plan or a scheme
The rainbow that you pursue 
Its everything and its nothing
Without someone to tell it to

How eager you are to get to that star
But after the journey's through
You're only a lonely dreamer
Without someone to tell it to

There'll be blue days, hard to get through days
Days when you'll just want to die
Soon you're older and the world's colder
When there's no shoulder to cry on

Castles in air are empty and bare
With no one to share the view
The moonlight is merely moonlight
There's no magic in I love you
Without someone, someone to tell it to

(Instrumental Break)

The moonlight is merely moonlight
There's no magic in I love you
Without someone, someone to tell it to
