How Long Has This Been Going On
Lyrics by: Ira Gershwin
Music by: George Gershwin
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Listen you, tell me do
How long has this been going on?
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet, I repeat
How long has this been going on?
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I've been hurled
Now I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once
Then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break
For heaven's sake
How long has this been going on?
What a kick
What a buzz
Boy, you click like no one does
Hear me sweet
Oh, I repeat
How long has this been going on?
Lover, when in your arms I creep
What a rendezvous
Don't wake me up if I'm asleep
Let me dream that it's true
Kiss me twice
Then once more
Oh, that was nice
Let's make it four
What a break
For heaven's sake
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
