Why won't you be mine

from Take me back to dreamland by Greg Englert

/

about

An original composition by Australian Musician, Composer, Producer, Arranger. This song was written in the style of the late 1920’s early 1930’s when music was lyrical with flowing melodies and often tinged in humour.

lyrics

I climbed the highest mountain, without a safety line
Sailed the roughest oceans, so why won’t you be mine
I ran the 100 metres, in world record time
Swam the Ganges River, so why won’t you be mine
You may think I’m braggin’, when I talk about myself
But if you don’t make your mind up soon, I’ll leave you on the shelf
I buy my clothes at Sacks on 5th, I drink expensive wine
I only eat at the Waldorf, so why won’t you be mine

I could give you diamonds, from my diamond mine
I’d give you minks and sables, so why won’t you be mine
I flew the world with Lindberg, I own the White Star Line
I coached the New York Yankees, so why won’t you be mine
I’m really quite impressive, I’m too good to be true
I’ve got everything I want, everything but you
We could live together, in my castle by the Rhine
You won’t find a better man, your life could be so devine
So why won’t, Why won’t you be mine
