YOU FOR ME
Haymes

as rec by Blossom Dearie (vocal & piano) w Ray Brown (bass) Herb Ellis (guitar) & Jo Jones (drums)  September 1956 New York


You for me,
Only you can do the things you do for me!
Give a friendless heart
An endless start to romance,
Then watch it dance;
Your subtle glance
Gave me the chance to discover -

That you're for me,
I'm the fish at sea
and you're the lure for me;
Take a look and see you've hooked
The she who'll agree
Quite cheerfully
To be for you if it's you for me!

You for me,
Only you can do the things you do for me!
Give a friendless heart
An endless start to romance,
Then watch it dance;
Your subtle glance
Gave me the chance to discover -

That you're for me,
I'm the fish at sea
and you're the lure for me;
Take a look and see you've hooked
The she who'll agree
Quite cheerfully
To be for you if it's you for me!
