Heart and soul, I fell in love with you
Heart and soul, the way a fool would do
Madly…
Because you held me tight
And stole a kiss in the night…
Heart and soul, I begged to be adored
Lost control, and tumbled overboard
Gladly…
That magic night we kissed
There in the moon mist
Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much too thrilling
Never before were mine so strangely willing
But now I see, what one embrace can do
Look at me, it’s got me loving you
Madly…
That little kiss you stole
Held all my heart and soul
Many years ago I use to play this on the piano after church services. it was the only thing I could play though. LOL Love the song then and it still brings back sweet memories.
What a lovely voice Helen Ward has & what a timeless song by a gifted composer. I like the latest Train - 'Play That Song' Version also, a nice twist & Tom Hanks in 'Big' on the giant Keyboard before the 'Chopsticks' scene, it's great to see songs like this being dusted off & back in the charts, not that they had charts back then! .
Heart and soul, I fell in love with you
Heart and soul, the way a fool would do, madly
Because you held me tight
And stole a kiss in the night
Heart and soul, I begged to be adored
Lost control, and tumbled overboard, gladly
That magic night we kissed
There in the moon mist
Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much too thrilling
Never before were mine so strangely willing
But now I see, what one embrace can do
Look at me, it's got me loving you madly
That little kiss you stole
Held all my heart and soul
Beautiful song one which makes me realize that Hoagy Carmichael was one of the best of American musicians and composers. And the girl's voice never fails to touch me whenever I hear this song.
