I Believe In You

Count Basie · Other Songs - Count Basie

You have the cool clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,

Yet there's that upturned chin and the grin of impetuous youth,

I believe in you, I believe in you.

I hear the sound of good solid judgment whenever you talk,



Yet there's that bold, brave, spring of the tiger that quickens your walk,

I believe in you, I believe in you.

And when my faith in my fellow man all but falls apart,

I've but to feel your hand grasping mine, and I take heart,



I take heart to see the cool clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,

Yet there's that slam, bang, tang, reminiscent of gin and Vermouth,

Now I believe in you, I believe in you.



(Musical interlude)



I believe in you, I believe in you, I believe, I believe in you.
