| About My Love Went To London | |
| Composer Tony Scibetta was a personal friend of Blossom Dearie, so it’s only natural that he would write this song for her. She recorded this song in 1991 on the album Tweedledum and Tweedledee with Mike Renzi, Tony Bennett’s musical director as of 2014. | |
Lyrics
Thank the Lord I am here at last
Now I found London Town
Never thought I’d live to see
The city on the Thames
Where’s that sky of grey
Where’s that foggy day
The gust winds had their say
But now I’m here to tell you
My love went to London
And left me behind
I’m going to London
And I’ll find her
Piccadilly Circus
Come meet her
Or I’ll rush right up to her
And lovingly I’ll greet her
My love went to London
I’m missing her so
I’m going to London
Where my love is
Tomorrow I’ll roam around
Old fabulous London Town
I’ll search every face I see around me
Until I hold London in my arms
Tomorrow I’ll roam around
Old fabulous London Town
I’ll search every face I see around me
Until I hold London in my arms
