Vincent Youmans - I've Confessed To The Breeze

{TOM}
I've confessed to the breeze, "I love you"
Told the birds and the bees your name
And every star above you
Each has heard every word
Of my secret flame
I have told the red rose, "I love you"
So the world surely knows it's true
So I thought, like as not
It would be well if I decided to tell you too

{NANETTE}
Since you have been so frank with me
And told me things so truthfully
You no doubt think that I
Should make some sort of reply
I'm surely not a bugaboo
To over-awe or frighten you
There's no need hesitating
There's no need longer waiting
Dear, I too have done some meditating

I've confessed to the breeze, "I love you"
Told the birds and the bees your name
And every star above you
Each has heard every word
Of my secret flame
I have told the red rose, "I love you"
So the world surely knows it's true

{TOM & NANETTE}
And I thought, like as not
It would be well if I decided to tell you too
