Ever since we parted with
The love we started with,
I just can’t erase you from my mind!
Really, it’s regrettable
You’re non-forgettable,
Every place I go, your face I find!
What would night time be
With ev’ry star away?
What is life to me
When you are far away?

Ask the sky above
And ask the earth below,
Why I’m so in love
And why I love you so.
Couldn’t tell you tho’ I try, dear,
Just why, dear,
I’m yours.

Lyric excerpt: verse intro and first lines of the chorus to “I’m Yours” (written for the Paramount featurette Leave It to Lester, 1930). Words by Yip Harburg. Music by John W. (“Johnny”) Green. This is a rare occurrence of the phrase “I love you” in Yip’s lyrics.
