When I'm Not Near The Girl I Love Composer(s): E.Y. "Yip" Harburg; Burton Lane Performer(s): David Wayne; and various other artists
Oh my heart is beating wildly And it's all because you're here When I'm not near the girl I love I love the girl I'm near Ev'ry femme that flutters by me Is a flame that must be fanned When I can't fondle the hand I'm fond of I fondle the hand at hand My heart's in a pickle It's constantly fickle And not too partickle, I fear When I'm not near the girl I love I love the girl I'm near
I'm confessing a confession And I hope I'm not verbose When I'm not close to the kiss that I cling to I cling to the kiss that's close As I'm more and more a mortal I am more and more a case When I'm not facing the face that I fancy I fancy the face I face For Sharon I'm carin' But Susan I'm choosin' I'm faithful to whos'n is here When I'm not near the girl I love I love the girl I'm near
