"I Was Telling Him About You" lyrics - SARAH VAUGHAN

His arms were around me, his eyes were aglow
The moment was tender, the music was low
But while we were dancing, I think you should know
I was telling him about you.

He kept coming closer, the magic was there
He wore an expression that made people stare
It looked so romantic but, darling, I swear
I was telling him about you.

When you danced by and caught my eye
You didn't say a word.
You turned about and walked right out
And the silence was the loudest I've ever heard.

Come back to me darling. I must make you see
That things aren't always as they seem to be.
The boy in my arms meant nothing to me.
I was telling him about you.
