BILLIE HOLIDAY - YOU'RE TOO LOVELY TO LAST lyrics

Teddy McRae / C. Beal / E. Fraser

Just when you are near

When I hold you fast

Then my dreams will whisper

You're too lovely to last.

Lips are saying "Love"

All worries have passed

And then I get that feeling

You're too lovely to last.

Will I ever know a real love?

So I can forget you

Will I always have to still love?

What am I to do?

Soon the night is gone

Dreams are fading fast

Then I wake up knowing

You're too lovely to last.

Will I ever know a real love?

So I can forget you

Will I always have to still love?

What am I to do?

Soon the night is gone

Dreams are fading fast

Then I wake up knowing

You're too lovely to last

Baby you're too lovely

You're much too lovely to last
