"Why Do I Love You?"(Hammerstein & Kern's 'Show Boat') piano solo by Wally Krauss

I'm walking on the air, dear,
For life is fair, dear, to lovers;
I'm in the seventh heaven
(There's more than seven, my heart discovers),
In this sweet, improbable and unreal world,
Finding you has given me my ideal world.
Why do I love you? Why do you love me?
Why should there be two happy as we?
Can you see the why or wherefor,
I should be the one you care for?
You're a lucky boy, I am lucky too,
All our dreams of joy seem to come true.
Maybe that's because you love me,
Maybe that's why I love you!///
This song is from the "Show Boat" (1928)
Music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. This has been recorded by many artists, including Percy Faith, Andre Previn, Dave Brubeck, Paul Weston, Dizzy Gillespie, Erroll Garner, Roy Eldridge, Miles Davis, Les Paul, Charlie Parker, Tommy Dorsey, and Glenn Miller.
