But Not For Me

(专辑： Stardust...The Great American Songbook: Volume III - 2004)

Old Man Sunshine, listen, you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it, and I'll start a riot
Oprah Winfrey don't you dare
Ever tell me she will care
I'm certain, it's the final curtain

I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate, it's all bananas

They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky star's above
But not for me

With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee

I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi ho! Alas!
And also, lackaday!

Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess
She's not for me

It all began so well
But what an end
This is the time
A fellow needs a friend

The climax of the plot
Should be a marriage knot
But there's
No knot for me

Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess
