134. Isn’t This a Lovely Day? (1935)

lyrics and music by Irving Berlin

Isn’t this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain
You were going on your way
Now you’ve got to remain

Just as you were going
Leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke
They broke and oh!
What a break for me

I can see the sun up high
Though we’re caught in the storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn’t matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you
It’s a lovely day

(bridge)

I can see the sun up high
Though we’re caught in the storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter patter
Though it really doesn’t matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you
It’s a lovely day

From the film Top Hat with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers

133. I’m Yours (1930)

lyrics by E.Y. Harburg

music by Johnny Green

Ask the sky above
And ask the earth below
Why I’m so in love
And why I love you so
Couldn’t tell you though I tried dear
Just why I’m yours
When you went away
You left a glowing spark
Trying to be gay as
Whistling in the dark
I am only what you make me
Come take me
I’m yours

How happy
I would be to beg or borrow
For sorrow
With you
Even though I knew
Tomorrow
You’d say we were through
If we drift apart
Then I’ll be lost and lone
Though you use my heart
Just for a steppin’ stone
How can I help dreaming of you
I love you
I’m yours

How happy
I would be to beg or borrow
For sorrow
With you
Even though I knew
Tomorrow
You’d say we were through
If we drift apart
Then I’ll be lost and lone
Though you use my heart
Just for a steppin’ stone
How can I help dreaming of you
I love you
I’m yours

 

2nd version

Ask the sky above
And ask the earth below
Why I’m so in love
And why I love you so
Couldn’t tell you though I tried dear
Just why I’m yours
When you went away
You left a glowing spark
Trying to be gay as
Whistling in the dark
I am only what you make me
Come take me
I’m yours

How happy
I would be to beg or borrow
For sorrow
With you
Even though I knew
Tomorrow
You’d say we were through
If we drift apart
Then I’ll be lost and lone
Though you use my heart
Just for a steppin’ stone
How can I help dreaming of you
I love you
I’m yours

How happy
I would be to beg or borrow
For sorrow
With you
Even though I knew
Tomorrow
You’d say we were through
If we drift apart
Then I’ll be lost and lone
Though you use my heart
Just for a steppin’ stone
I am only what you make me
Come take me
I’m yours

130. I’m Pulling Through

Arthur Herzog Jr. & Irene Kitchings

I’m pulling through and it’s because of you
When I was stranded came your helping hand
Lonely hurt I had not known which way to turn
‘Til you said That’s bad, not tears, just laugh and learn

I’m pulling through and it’s because of you
You made me see how lovely life could be
Lifted up my heart and made me count the cost
To find I’d gained not lost

When I thought that hope was really gone
You showed me I was wrong
And you taught me how to carry on
Thanks for the lift in time and thanks for this song

I’m pulling through and it’s because of you
I’d do the same for you if your turn came
Hope it never will for I’ve been through the mill
I won’t forget this debt
I’m pulling through

(bridge)

When I thought that hope was really gone
You showed me I was wrong
And you taught me how to carry on
Thanks for the lift in time and thanks for this song

I’m pulling through and it’s because of you
I’d do the same for you if your turn came
Hope it never will for I’ve been through the mill
I won’t forget this debt
I’m pulling trough

 

129. I’m Painting The Town Red

Charles Tobias & Charles Newman & Sam H. Stept

A smile on my face

A song on my lips

Pretending is all I do

I’m painting the town red

To hide a heart that’s blue

I’m gay with the crowd

I play with the crowd

But oh, if they only knew

I’m painting the town red

To hide a heart that’s blue

Must I go on carrin’ on

My merry song is just pretend

Loving you so, wanting you so

Where will it end, how will it end

A smile on my face

A song on my lips

But never forgetting you

I’m painting the town red

To hide a heart that’s blue

128. I’m In A Low-Down Groove

R. Jacobs

I’m in a low-down groove
From carrying a torch for you
Oh, what a low-down groove
Really don’t know what to do

My heart has no sense of humor
Dear as far as you’re concerned
It’s more than a Winchell rumor
This time I really got burned
I don’t need a song to prove
That I’m in such a low-down groove

(bridge)

My heart has no sense of humor
Dear as far as you’re concerned
It’s more than a Winchell rumor
This time I really got burned
I don’t need a song to prove
That I’m in such a low-down groove

Note: Walter Winchell (1897-1972) was the inventor of the gossip column in the press

127. I’m Gonna Lock My Heart (And Throw Away The Key) 1938

lyrics and music by Jimmy Eaton & Terry Shand

I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I’m wise to all those tricks you played on me
I’m gonna turn my back on love
Gonna snub the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can’t get in

I’m gonna park my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
Please don’t disturb
And if I never fall in love again
That’s soon enough for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw the key

(bridge)

And if I never fall in love again
That’s soon enough for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
I’ll never fall in love
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key

 

2nd version

I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I’m wise to all those tricks you played on me
I’m gonna turn my back on love
Gonna snub the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can’t get in

I’m gonna park my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
Please don’t disturb
And if I never fall in love again
That’s soon enough for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw the key

(bridge)

And if I never fall in love again
That’s soon enough for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
I’ll never fall in love
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key

 

3rd version

I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
To keep all the guys away from me
I’m gonna turn my back on love
Snub the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can’t get in

Park my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
Please don’t disturb
And if I never fall in love again
That’s soon enough for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw the key

(bridge)

Park my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
Please don’t disturb
And if I never fall in love again
That’s too soon for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
I’ll never fall in love
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key

126. I’m All For You

Bresler & Wynn

Let our friends say what they want to say
If I’m wrong I’ll be the one to pay
No matter if it’s true
You’ll find that I’m all for you

Let the cards predict we’ll drift apart
And the stars foretell a broken heart
No matter if they do
You’ll find that I’m all for you

I only know come what may
You’ll always find me by your side
I may be a fool
Time alone will decide

Let them all say that it’s just a game
And I’m sure to lose
But just the same no matter if I do
You’ll find that I’m all for you

(bridge)

I only know come what may
You’ll always find me by your side
I may be a fool
Time alone will decide

Let them all say that it’s just a game
And I’m sure to lose
But just the same no matter if I do
You’ll find that I’m all for you
