American lyricist, songwriter & musician (1913-1993)
I'll only miss her when I think of her
And I'll think of her all the time
Likely I'll spend my days hearing her turn of a phrase
Things I found hard to praise, right now would seem sublime
SAMMY CAHN
"I'll Only Miss Her When I Think Of Her"
I've seen the look of a baby with a rattle
I've seen the look of a hero in a battle
I've seen the look of a heartsick turtle dove
But the look that leaves ya real shook is the look of love
SAMMY CAHN
"The Look of Love"
If you but knew
How many times I pretend that I'm with you
I'm sure your heart would unbend
You'd see me through
Until my dream had a happy ending
SAMMY CAHN
"It's The Same Old Dream"
Before we say good-bye forever, come waltz with me, come waltz with me once more
Before we let love die forever, come waltz with me, the way we waltzed before
Before our little world, just crumbled and fell
And tumbled, like a house of cards to the floor
Before I'm left to sigh forever, and haunt the past--give me this last encore
Oh darling come and waltz with me once more
SAMMY CAHN
"Come Waltz with Me"
