Leave It To Love
Sarah Vaughan · Other Songs - Sarah Vaughan
Love doesn't give you the right to choose
But king or beggar, you can't refuse
You got to leave it to love
Love has you riding a carousel
You spin' around in a dizzy spell
When it will end you cannot tell
You gotta leave it to love
Who can know what the future will bring
Today you cry but tomorrow may sing
[CHORUS]
So when a stranger gives you a glance
There may be danger but take a chance
For all you know it's your real romance
That's sent from heaven above
You've gotta leave it to love
Who can know what the future will bring
Today you cry by tomorrow your heart may sing
[Repeat CHORUS]
You've gotta leave it...
You've gotta leave it...
Leave it to love
