How Long Has This Been Going On?

(album: Rosemary Clooney Sings The Lyrics Of Ira Gershwin - 1979)

I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been going on?

There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen, sweet, I repeat
How long has this been going on?

Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into Heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world

Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break for Heaven's sake
How long has this been going on?

Dear when in your arms I creep
That divine rendezvous
Don't wake me, if I'm asleep
Let me dream that it's true

Kiss me twice, then once more
That makes thrice, let's make it four
What a break for Heaven's sake
How long has this been going on?
