Peggy Lee They Can't Take That Away From Me Lyrics

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 b__py road to love
Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced 'til 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 b__py road to love
Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced 'til 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

*[Other versions may add the following verses:
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.
or
There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few]
