[Preamble]
I'm all topsy-turvy and that's a certain sign
That either heat's affecting me or someone's on my mind
Honest, I'm no kidder, I don't thrill easily
But here's what I consider the greatest thrill to me

[Verse 1]
To be in love is simply wonderful
To be in love, especially with you

[Verse 2]
To hold your hand is simply marvellous
I'd say it's grand, especially with you

[Bridge 1]
Every smile adds a year to my life, dear
Your kiss, think of what one could do

[Verse 3]
To be in love, oh, ain't it just too bad
To be in love, especially with you

{Trumpet solo: Louis Armstrong, with trombone bridge by Tommy Dorsey}

[Verse 1]
To be in love, love, love, love, love is simply wonderful
To be in love, especially with you
[Verse 2]
To hold your hand is simply marvellous
I'd say it's grand, especially with you

[Bridge 2]
They say actions speak louder than words, dear
One kiss and I'll prove that it's true

[Verse 3]
To be in love, love, love, love, love, oh, ain't it just too bad
To be in love, especially with you
