All the Things You Are

Words by Oscar Hammerstein II
Music by Jerome Kern

Recorded by: Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, &c

Liz: Never can be at ease when I meet him,
Never say what I please when I meet him,
Only become unbearably dumb and coy!

Ogdon: Never can I press my suit when I'm with her,
Timorous, shy, and mute when I'm with her,
I am an inarticulate, bashful boy!

Liz: Ah, me! if my heart could only find a voice!
Ogdon: Ah, me! if my heart could only find a voice!

Both: (He'd/She'd) hear something new and thrilling,
Would he but bestow a willing ear! 

Carroll: Ah!

Carroll:
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long;
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.

You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine.		 Charles:
You know you are my all in all,
All my springtime!
You know you are the gentle echo
of a lovely song,

afar and strange you light the star of night,
you are what you are!
I want that day when my warm arms will hold you closely,
I want you when will I know you
when you are all mine.

 
Charles & boys:
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long;
(Darling,)
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.

 

 Girls:
Ah!
Boys:
Ah!

Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine.		 Carroll, Charles, & girls:
 You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Ah!
Ah!
____ the things you are, are mine.

Hear the tune in MIDI format:

Words, unarranged:

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long;
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.

You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine.
