Every Now and Then

Shari, do you remember this song? It's from the 1929 movie "The Great Gabbo".

She:
Something's wrong with your

sunny disposition.
He:
Tried to take a pill.

But it made me ill.
Don't know what to do. Do you?
She:
Well, doctor's know

just the cause of your condition.
You better get a nurse
cause your're getting worse.
He:
Ready for the hearse

If you won't listen to me.
She:
Every now and then,

When you go away,
I want you back again.
Every now and then.
He:
Get's so lonesome, too.

Just because of you.
Every now and then.
She:
Oh, Gee,

If you would only spend,
Time enough to tele-
phone a lonely friend.
Then you wouldn't be
just a memory
like you are to me.
Every now and then.
He:
And when the birdies in the spring

Start to chirp and sing
She:
It doesn't mean a thing.

He:
You know the song I want to sing

Is a sweeter thing
'bout a wedding ring.
She:
And you always

Ask me all the time.
All about a lot of
Wedding bells that chime.
He:
I will make you mine.

Then you can't pretend
That I'm just a friend.
Every now and then.
