MAKE HER MINE
Sammy Gallop / Chester Conn  1953

as rec by Nat "King" Cole w Nelson Riddle & his Orch  
1953


Make the river deep, the mountain high,
The cornflower blue as the Summer sky,
And heaven above me,
Tell her, "Love me!",
Make her mine!

Make the valley green, the pine tree tall,
The warmth of the sun after raindrops fall,
And heaven above me,
Tell her, "Love me!",
Make her mine!

Is it so wrong to long for
Someone who's so supreme?
I'm not the one she's strong for,
But is it a sin if I dream?

I sigh for her in her caress,
Am I but a voice in the wilderness?
Oh heaven above me,
Tell her to love me,
Make her mine!

Is it so wrong to long for
Someone who's so supreme?
I'm not the one she's strong for,
But is it a sin if I dream?

I sigh for her in her caress,
Am I but a voice in the wilderness?
Oh heaven above me,
Tell her to love me,
Make her mine!
