Every So Often

Lyric: Johnny Mercer
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1947
Original publisher: Harry Warren Music, Inc.

Verse:

You wouldn't think that I'd still be aware of
A half-forgotten phrase we used to know;
You wouldn't think that I'd cling to my share of
A love affair that ended long ago,
But, darling,

Chorus:

Ev'ry so often I still think of you,
And ev'ry so often, the teardrops fall too.
How I wish that things could be the same as they were then,
But you can't take a heart apart and put it back again.
Somebody's hearing the same old sweet lies,
And new stars are shining in somebody's eyes;
You wouldn't think I wake at night and cry, "How could you?"
You wouldn't, would you?
But ev'ry so often I still do.
