Ira Gershwin - Liza lyrics

[JERRY] Moon shining on the river Come along, my Liza [LISE, spoken] Lise! [JERRY] Breeze singin' through the treetops Come along, my Liza [LISE, spoken] Lise! [JERRY, spoken] Not here. Not with me (sung) Something mighty sweet I want to whisper sweet and low That you ought to know, my Liza (spoken) Try it! (sung) I get lonesome, honey, when I'm all alone so long Don't make me wait, don't hesitate Come and hear my song Liza, Liza, skies are gray But if you smile on me all the clouds'll roll away Liza, Liza, don't delay Come, keep me company, and the clouds'll roll away See the honeymoon a-shining down We should make a date with Parson Brown So, Liza, Liza Name the day when you'll belong to me And the clouds'll roll away See the honeymoon a-shining down We should make a date with Parson Brown (spoken) Say you'll meet me, right here. Can't a man and a woman just be friends? In America, they do it all the time [LISE, spoken] I can be your friend, but no more than that [JERRY, spoken] You'll meet me? [LISE, spoken] Yes, but you have to swear to never tell anyone [JERRY, spoken] I swear! Oh, Lise! [LISE, spoken] No, Liza!
