TOO BEAUTIFUL TO LAST (Tony Martin)
Marty Symes / Lowe  1942

as rec by Tony Martin w Victor Young & his Orch  1940's


I hear you say "I love you!",
Each time you hold me fast,
But I know this is too beautiful to last.
You took my heart to heaven,
Out of a lonely past,
But I know this is too beautiful to last.

Although you promised that, for ever,
Love will ever linger on,
I wake from dreams with dawn appearing,
Always fearing you'll be gone!

That moment when you kissed me,
Darling, the die was cast,
I'm afraid this is too beautiful to last.

Although you promised that, for ever,
Love will ever linger on,
I wake from dreams with dawn appearing,
Always fearing you'll be gone!

That moment when you kissed me,
Darling, the die was cast,
I'm afraid this is too beautiful to last.
