Lyrics
They Didn't Believe Me
Words by M.E. Rourke
Music by Jerome Kern
Appears on Live with The Trio
And when I told them
How wonderful you are
They didn't believe me
They didn't believe me
Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair
Are in a class beyond compare
You're the loveliest thing I've ever seen
And when I tell them
And I'm certainly going to tell them
That you're the girl whose love one day I'll be
They'll never believe me
They'll never believe me
That from this great big world you've chosen me
