TO BE WORTHY OF YOU  
(Walter Gross / Ray Klages) (1935)

Frankie Laine

Also recorded by:
Alma Cogan - 1952


You're so near and yet so far away,
Can I hope to share your love someday?
I'd give anything that I possess.
If I could only prove my worthiness.

To be worthy of you
Will be the dream of my life.
The thing supreme in my life
To be worthy of you
Can I hope for romance?
Will I find love in your glance?
Is there a ghost of a chance
To be worthy of you?

You're my heart and my soul
My life and love you control
This one desire is my goal
To be worthy of you.
Will the day come for me
When I'm all you want me to be?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be worthy of you.

To be worthy of you
Will be the dream of my life.
The thing supreme in my life
To be worthy of you
Can I hope for romance?
Will I find love in your glance?
Is there a ghost of a chance
To be worthy of you?

You're my heart and my soul
My life and love you control
This one desire is my goal
To be worthy of you.
Will the day come for me
When I'm all you want me to be?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be worthy of you.
