They Can't Take That Away From Me

From the RKO Picture "Shall We Dance"
From the MGM Picture "The Barkleys of Broadway"
Music by George Gershwin; Lyric by Ira Gershwin
Performed by Fred Astaire

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'm 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 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 they can't take that away from me

We may never never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
But 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 they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
