Sophia
Composer(s): George Gershwin - Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Dean Martin



Ev'ry day I
sit and pray I
win you over soon

Say yes, won't you?
Do you, don't you
want this world in tune?

What does it take to persuade you?
And how much more must I serenade you?

Listen to me, Sophia
Have you any idea
How much you mean to me-a?
How much you'll never know!

If I'm all agitato
Ev'ry heart string vibrato
Ev'ry look passionato
Who but you made me so?

It's love, it's love crescendo
Never ever diminuenndo

Say the word, sweet Sophia
Or from earth I resign
Oh, Sophia, be mine!

Listen to me, Sophia
Have you any idea
How much you mean to me-a?
Ev'ry day more and more!

All the others were so-so
Not a one amoroso
But with you I'm aglow, so
Only you I adore

You're sweeter than spumone
Sweeter even than zabaglione

Say the word, sweet Sophia
Let our heart's (sic) intertwine
Oh, Sophia, be mine!
Oh, Sophia, be mine!
