I Want To Talk About You

Words & Music by Billy Eckstine
Recorded by Billy Eckstine, 1944


Dm7   CM7     G          C7           C7/G
Don't tell me   about a night in June,

      F         Dm             Fm7          Bbm9
Or a shady lane    beneath the velvet moon,

       C      Cdim  F               Fdim   G  Gdim  Edim F  G7
Don't tell me,        'cause I wanna talk about you.


Dm7   CM7     G      C7        C7/G
Don't mention   that waterfall,

         F         Dm         Fm7           Bbm9
Or that grassy spot    where crickets call;

       C      Cdim   F               Fdim   G   C    Dm7  Dm7-5  C
Don't tell me,        'cause I wanna talk about you.


    Dm7           C7        Dm7         C7
The moon and the stars, the objects on mars,

     F                 C7          F
Are things that we've talked of before;

     Eb           F           Bb
But your love for me was the question,

      F                         E7-9
Your answer threw back heaven's door.


Dm7 CM7     G                  C7          C7/G
So tell me,     your love will be sincere,

          F      Dm             Fm7        Bbm9
Then my darling,    you needn't ever fear

          C       Cdim   F               Fdim   G   Calt  Dm7  Dm7-5 CM7
'Cause I love you           and I  wanna talk about you.
