About How Little We Know

"How Little We Know" is a song written by written by Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer for the 1944 film To Have and Have Not, where it is performed by the character "Slim" played by Lauren Bacall. A young Andy Williams recorded the song for the film as a possible alternative track to dub Bacall's low voice. Bacall said they used her singing. After the film's release it was a hit recording sung by Judy Johnson. It has been covered periodically, most recently in 1999 by Michael Feinstein with the Maynard Ferguson Big Band for the album Big City Rhythms. This song should not be confused with the Carolyn Leigh/Phillip Springer composition "(How Little It Matters) How Little We Know", which was first recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1956. more »

Maybe it happens this way
Maybe we really belong together
But after all, how little we know

Maybe it's just for a day
Love is as changeable as the weather
And after all, how little we know

Who knows why an April breeze never remains
Why stars in the trees hide when it rains
Love comes along, casting a spell            
Will it sing you a song  
Will it say a farewell
Who can tell

Maybe you're meant to be mine
Maybe I'm only supposed to stay in your arms a while
As others have done
 
Is this what I've waited for, am I the one
Oh, I hope in my heart that it's so
In spite of how little we know

Is this what I've waited for, am I the one
Oh, I hope in my heart that it's so
In spite of how little we know
