Time May Change  (From "Maid to Measure", 1948, with Jessie Matthews).



YOU CAN'T BE TRUE DEAR
There's nothing more to say
I trusted you, dear
Hoping we'd find a way
Your kisses tell me
That you and I are through
But I'll keep loving you
Although you can't be true



There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far
Very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day,
One magic day he passed my way
While we spoke of many things
Fools and Kings
This he said to me

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland
Then may at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play.

For the breezes blowing o’er the seas from Ireland
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands diggin’ praties
Speak a language that the strangers do not know.

For the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways
They scorned us just for bein’ what we are
But they might as well go chasin’ after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star.

And if there is going to be a life hereafter
And somehow I am sure there’s going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish sea.





Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
 MY HAPPINESS
Every day I reminesce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
 MY HAPPINESSA million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
 MY HAPPINESS



HEARTBREAKER
the cutest Gal in town
You HEARBREAKER
boys follow you around
You think that you are having your fling
Making hearts dance just like puppets on a string
You HEARTBREAKER ]
you'll be the lonely one when all your fun is thru
So be careful what you do
when you break a heart in two
For that heart may belong to you.
