HIGH ON THE LIST
(Jimmy Van Heusen (m) Johnny Burke (l) 1950)

as recorded by
Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters
with Vic Schoen & His Orchestra
March 24th 1950 Los Angeles


High on the list of beautiful sights is you,
And I've seen Naples!
You are a view they can't overrate,
I've seen New York from the Empire State!

High on the list of beautiful sounds is your sigh,
And I know music!
Of all the wonders I'd hate to have missed,
I'd name the thrill when we kissed!
And if that isn't the greatest,
It's certainly high on the list!

High on the list of beautiful sights is you,
And I've seen Naples!
You are a view they can't overrate,
I've seen New York from the Empire State!

High on the list of beautiful sounds is your sigh,
And I know music!
Of all the wonders I'd hate to have missed,
I'd name the thrill when we kissed!
And if that isn't the greatest,
It's certainly high on the list!

Higher and higher and higher
And high on the list of beautiful sounds is your sigh,
And we know music!
Of all the wonders I'd hate to have missed,
I'd name the thrill when we kissed!
And if that isn't the greatest,
It's certainly high,
It's so very very high on the list!
