About Love

"The Man I Love" is a popular standard with music by George Gershwin and lyrics by his brother Ira. Part of the 1924 score for the Gershwin government satire Lady, Be Good as "The Girl I Love", the song was deleted from the show and from both the 1927 anti-war satire Strike Up the Band (where it first appeared as "The Man I Love") and 1928 Ziegfeld hit Rosalie after tryouts. Popular recordings in 1928 were by Marion Harris; Sophie Tucker; Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra (vocal by Vaughn De Leath); and by Fred Rich & His Orchestra (vocal also by Vaughn De Leath). As with many standards of the era, it has become more famous as an independent popular song than as one from a Broadway musical. The song was included in the 2015 Broadway musical An American in Paris based on the six-time Academy Award-winning Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron film, An American in Paris that was released in 1951. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Day after day had passed
Shadows cast 
Of long forgotten things 
That I had failed to do 
Passing through 
Nameless places 
Then I heard you speak 
I held my breath and turned 
Saw you, and heard you say to me
"Have you a cigarette?" 
So we met, and love was something real and not a word

And there were times she took my breath away 
She gave me thoughts to think and words to say

We were so happy then 
Life began 
When all at once
Her eyes grew cold 
She spoke to me 
Laughed at me 
Telling me 
That I was just a joke 
She doesn't want me now 
Tells me how 
All she ever wanted was to see me cry 
And now I'm all alone, I know she's satisfied

Now when she leaves she'll take my life away 
And so the curtain falls and ends the play

She'll take my life away 
She'll take my life away
