They Can't Take That Away From Me

 - from the movie "Shall We Dance"

 - words by Ira Gershwin, music by George Gershwin

 - as recorded by Peggy Lee

 

 Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note,

 Though by tomorrow you're gone;

 The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote,

 The melody lingers on.

 They may take you from me, I'll miss your fond caress.

 But though they take you from me, I'll still possess.

 

 The way you wear your hat

 The way you sip your tea

 The memory of all that

 No, no, they can't take that away from me

 

 The way your smile just beams

 The way you sing off key

 The way you haunt my dreams

 No, no, they can't take that away from me

 

 We may never, never meet again

 On the bumpy road to love

 Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of

 

 The way you hold your knife

 The way we danced till three

 The way you changed my life

 No, no, they can't take that away from me

 No, they can't take that away from me

 

 We may never, never meet again

 On the bumpy road to love

 Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of

 

 The way you hold your knife

 The way we danced till three

 The way you changed my life

 No, no, they can't take that away from me

 No, they can't take that away

 Can't take that away

 Can't take that away from me
