SPEAKING CONFIDENTIALLY
(Fields / McHugh)
Alice Faye - 1935
^Speaking confidentially
Have I ever told you you’re terrific?
Great as the Pacific and I care for you
Speaking confidentially
When you’re near I’m higher than a hat is
And the welcome on my mat is
Always there for you
Baby this is not the Flashman hour
This is not a song the world should hear
Why invite a hundred million more ears
It’s just for your ears, my dear
Speaking confidentially
I can never tell you what you mean to me
You’re everything from A to Zee
And that is true, so I mean to say essentially
That, speaking confidentially, I’m terribly in love with you^^
What a gay affair our love would be
If we could share a little privacy
But privacy is one thing we miss
When I chance to meet you socially
Or call around and see your family
If I have a moment, I just mumble this
(Rep from ^ to ^^)
