Sophia Lyrics

Songbook: The Best of George Gershwin
(George & Ira Gershwin)
Dean Martin
INTRO:

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?

REFRAIN:

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!
