Riders in the Sky

They Can’t Take That Away From Me
— from the movie «Shall We Dance»
— words by Ira Gershwin, music by George Gershwin
— as recorded by Peggy Lee
Our romance won’t end on a sorrowful note,
Though by tomorrow you’re gone;
The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote,
The melody lingers on.
They may take you from me, I’ll miss your fond caress.
But though they take you from me, I’ll still possess.
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can’t take that away from me The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can’t take that away from me We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still, I’ll always, always keep the memory of The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can’t take that away from me No, they can’t take that away from me We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still, I’ll always, always keep the memory of The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can’t take that away from me No, they can’t take that away
Can’t take that away
Can’t take that away from me
