I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me

Billie Holiday · Complete Masters 1933 - 1959 [2011]

Your eyes so blue

Your kisses too

I never knew what they could do

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



You're telling everyone I know

I'm on your mind each place you go

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

I have always placed you far above me

I just can't image that you love me

And after all is said and done

To think that I'm the lucky one

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