Artist/Band: Duke Ellington
Lyrics for Song: I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Duke Ellington



Yesterday you came my way,


And when you smiled at me,


In my heart I felt a thrill you see,


That it was love at sight and


I was right to love you as I do.


Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.





Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,


I never knew what they could do.


I can't believe that you're in love with me.





You're telling ev'ry one I know


I'm on your mind each place we go


They can't believe that you're in love with me.





I have always placed you far above me.


I just can't imagine that you love me.


And after all is said and done,


To think that I'm the lucky one.


I can't believe that you're in love with me.





Skies are gray. I'm blue each day


When you are not around.


Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found


But when you're by my side I fill with pride


For I'm so proud of you


It all seems too good to me to all be true





Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,


I never knew what they could do.


I can't believe that you're in love with me.





You're telling ev'ry one I know


I'm on your mind each place we go


They can't believe that you're in love with me.





I have always placed you far above me.


I just can't imagine that you love me.


And after all is said and done,


To think that I'm the lucky one.


I can't believe that you're in love with me.

This recording captures a moment where Ellington explored the nuances of romantic expression, utilizing a rich arrangement that highlighted the interplay between his orchestra and the featured vocalist. While specific chart positions or release dates vary across different editions, the piece remains a significant part of his discography, illustrating his commitment to crafting works that appealed to both casual listeners and discerning critics.
