I Was Telling Him About You

(album: September In The Rain - 1961)

My arms were around him, my eyes were aglow
The moment was tender, the music was low
But while we were dancing, I think you oughta know
That I was telling him about you

He kept coming closer, the magic was there
He wore an expression that made people stare
It might've looked romantic but, daddy, I swear
Don't you know, yeah, I was telling him about you

When you passed by and caught my eye
You didn't say a word
You just turned about and walked right out
And the silence was the loudest I've ever heard

Please, come back to me, daddy, I must make you see
That the things aren't always what they seem to be
The boy in my arms meant nothing to me
I was telling him about you
I was telling him about you
