Wait Till You See Her

Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald

Wait 'til you see him

See how he looks

Wait 'til you hear him laugh.



Painters of paintings

Writers of books

Never could tell the half.



Wait 'til you feel

The warmth of his glance,

Pensive and sweet and wise.



All of it lovely

All of it thrilling

I'll never be willing to free him.



When you see him

You won't believe your eyes

You won't believe your eyes.
