They Cant Take That Away From Me

punkprincess by punkprincess · Oct 23, 2002 · 174 views · · · Journal

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 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

i love this song so much!!! t's one of fred astaire's movies i think. or something like that. it was in this really old classic movie and at first i thought this was a poem and then i'm get to the middle and i'm like, "why do i know tina's poem before she says it?" that's why. its in a good move. actually wasn't it in Guys and Dolls too? frank sinatra does it to the girl he elopes with.

you didn't even lok at the possibilitythat u might have livedthis life efore and are going throught it again, anf that's why you knew the poem? cuz if you did that would be wierd

its weird that that was your explanation for my thoughts. i know it is in a movie and i have been trying to name it all day and i finally got it. its from mr. hollands opus. when they are doing the school play. it's one of the songs in the show. i think its "new york, new york," where they also sing i've got rhythm.

ekulu ekuluOG 2002 ·

yes i remember that!! wasnt that movie like 19 million hours long?

sux2beme sux2bemeOG 2002 ·
