you never knew about me - jerome kern lyrics

(verse 1)
[george]
we were children once long ago, dear
you and i
at the start our lives lay apart, as
lives will lie
up i grew
and i never knew
that the world contained a darling like you
nor did you dream you
would see little me, too
by and by

(chorus 1)
[both]
i never knew about you, dear
and you never knew about me

[george]
life might have been heaven
if i, then aged seven
had but met you when you were three
wе’d have made mud pies likе affinities
we’d have known what rapture may be
i’d have let you feed my rabbit
till the thing became a habit
dear, but i never knew about you
[lou ellen]
oh, what might have been

[george]
and you never knew about me

(verse 2)
[lou ellen]
how i wish i’d known, dear
that one day you’d arrive
just to feel i had an idea
for which to strive
had i known
i’d meet you, my own
i would not have lived for pleasure alone
i was frivolous and g*y
sad to say
when i was five

(chorus 2)
[both]
i never knew about you, dear
and you never knew about me

[lou ellen]
i never missed chances
of juvenile dances
for my life was one mad spree
i was often kissed ‘neath the mistletoe
by small boys excited with tea
if i’d known that you existed
i’d have scratched them and resisted
dear, but i never knew about you
[george]
oh, the pain of it!
and you never knew about me
