How Little We Know

How Little We Know
music by Hoagy Carmichael (left)
lyric by Johnny Mercer (right)

Maybe it happens this way,
Maybe we really belong together,
But after all, how little we know.
Maybe it's just for a day,
Love is as changeable as the weather
And after all, how little we know.

Who knows why an April breeze never remains?
Why stars in the trees hide when it rains?
Love comes along casting a spell. will it sing you a song,
Will it say a farewell?
Who can tell!

Maybe you're meant to be mine,
Maybe I'm only supposed to stay in your arms a while, As others have done.
Is this what I've waited for?
Am I the one?
Oh, I hope in my heart that it's so, in spite of how little we know.
