Billie Holiday
You’re Too Lovely to Last
[Verse 1]
Just when you are near
When I hold you fast
Then my dreams will whisper
You're too lovely to last

[Verse 2]
Lips are saying "Love"
All worries have passed
Then I get that feeling
You're too lovely to last

[Bridge]
Will I ever know of real love
So I can forget you?
Will I always have to steal love?
What am I to do?

[Verse 3]
Soon the night is gone
Dreams are fading fast
Then I wake up knowin'
You're too lovely to last

[Bridge]
Will I ever know of real love
So I can forget you?
Will I always have to steal love?
What am I to do?
[Verse 3]
Soon the night is gone
Dreams are fading fast
Then I wake up knowin'
You're too lovely to last

[Outro]
Baby, you're too lovely
You're much too lovely to last
