Say It with Music

Say It with Music  (1921)  by Irving Berlin

information about this edition.

[Verse]

(Girl) Music is a language lovers understand,

Melody and romance wander hand in hand.

Cupid never fails assisted by a band,

So if you have something sweet to tell her.

[Refrain]

Say it with music,

Beautiful music.

Somehow they'd rather be kiss'd

To the strains of Chopin or Liszt.

A melody mellow,

Played on a cello,

Helps Mister Cupid along

So say it with a beautiful song.

[Verse]

(Boy) There's a tender message deep down in my heart,

Something you should know, but how am I to start?

Sentimental speeches never could impart

Just exactly what I want to tell you.
