How About Me

How About Me
music & lyric by Irving Berlin

Too long I held you close to my heart;
Too much I loved you right from the start;
Too soon you vanished out of my dreams;
Too late to start all over, it seems...

It's over, all over,
And soon somebody else
Will make a fuss about you---but how about me?

It's over, all over,
And soon somebody else
Will tell his friends about you---but how about me?

You'll find somebody new, but what am I to do?
I'll still remember you when you have forgotten...

And maybe a baby will climb upon your knee
And put its arms about you---but how about me?

Moonlight was beaming down from the skies;
Love light was gleaming deep in your eyes;
Sunlight for just a moment, and then
Twilight and I was lonely again...

It's over, all over, and soon somebody else will make a fuss about you---
But how about me?
It's over, all over, and soon somebody else will tell his friends about you---
But how about me?

You'll find somebody new, but what am I to do?
I'll still remember you when you have forgotten...

And maybe a baby will climb upon your knee and put its arms about you---
But how about me?
