SO WOULD I
Jimmy Van Heusen (m) Johnny Burke (l) 1946

as rec by Bing Crosby w Russ Morgan & his Orch 
August 22nd 1946 Los Angeles


Why do the stars adore you?
All day they're lonesome for you!
They'd give you the sky;
By the way, so would I!

Think how the raindrops miss you,
They hurry down to kiss you
And hope for a sigh;
By the way, so would I!

I saw a rose try to imitate your smile,
And you could have heard my heart for a country mile!

The wise old owl is scheming,
He overheard you dreaming,
And what he won't try,
Win or lose, do or die!
And by the way, so would I!

I saw a rose try to imitate your smile,
And you could have heard my heart for a country mile!

The wise old owl is scheming,
He overheard you dreaming,
And what he won't try,
Win or lose, do or die!
And by the way, so would I!
