Dorothy Lamour - It had to be you

NOBODY ELSE WOULD DO

Recordamos el aniversario natal de la actriz estadounidense Dorothy Lamour, quien además fue una estupenda cantante, con su magnífica versión de It had to be you (1940), composición de Isham Jones (música) y Gus Kahn (letra). Publicada en 1924, la canción fue objeto de multitud de versiones de artistas como Ruth Etting, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, Barbra Streisand, Harry Connick, Jr. o Rod Stewart, convirtiéndose en un perdurable standard.



It had to be you  (lyrics)

It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around
Finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad
Just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others I've seen
Might never been mean
Might never be crossed
Try to be bossed
They wouldn't do
Nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
Had to be you

It had to be you
Nobody else would do
Wandered around
Finally found
Someone who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad
Just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others I've seen
Might never been mean
Might never be crossed
Try to be bossed
They wouldn't do
Nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you to hold me
My heart told me
I had to be you
