BODY AND SOUL
Paul Whiteman
(Edward Heyman, Robert Sour, Frank Eyton & Johnny Green)
Life's dreary for me
Days seem to be as long as years
I look for the sun
But I see none through my tears
Your heart must be a stone
To leave me here all alone
When you could make life worth living
By simply taking what I'm set on giving
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you, body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wond'ring why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you, body and soul
I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending, it looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear
My life, a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you, body and soul
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you, body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wond'ring why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you, body and soul
I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending, it looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear
My life, a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you, body and soul
