Now It Can Be Told

Now It Can Be Told

music and lyric by Irving Berlin

All the world's great lovers have been glorified;

Hist'ry placed them in a romantic set.

In between book covers they are side by side,

But the real thing hasn't been written yet...

Now it can be told, told in all its glory;

Now that we have met the world may know the sentimental story.

The greatest romance they ever knew is waiting to unfold.

Now it can be told as an inspiration;

Ev'ry other tale of boy-meets-girl is just an imitation.

The great love story has never been told before,

But now, now it can be told...
