If You Should Ever Leave Lyrics & Chords By Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington

if you ever should leave
why would I want to live
darling you must believe
won't you try to forgive
what a fool I would be
if I fooled with your love for me
I'd be wrong from the start
I'd be unfair to my heart
so whatever you do
don't you say that were through
I'd do nothing but grieve
if you ever should leave

(instrumental break)

oh, what a fool I would be
if I fooled with your love for me
I'd be wrong from the start
I'd be unfair to my heart
so whatever you do
don't you say that were through
I'd do nothing but grieve
if you ever should leave
I'd do nothing but grieve
if you ever should leave
