I Was Telling Him About You Songtext
von Dinah Washington

His arms were around me, his eyes were aglow
The moment was tender, the music was low
But while we were dancing, I think you should know
I was telling him about you. He kept coming closer, the magic was there
He wore an expression that made people stare
It looked so romantic but, darling, I swear
I was telling him about you.


When you danced by and caught my eye
You didn′t say a word.
You turned about and walked right out
And the silence was the loudest I've ever heard.

Come back to me darling. I must make you see
That things aren′t always as they seem to be.
The boy in my arms meant nothing to me.
I was telling him about you.
