"All of Me" - lyrics

Billie, in her Dressing Room

"All of Me"
by Seymour Simons / Gerald Marks

You took my kisses and all my love
You taught me how to care
Am I to be just remnant of a one side love affair

All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me to save

All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me


Photographer: J.P. Lenoir, France, approx. 1954.
