Don't Be That Way
Ella Fitzgerald / Louis Armstrong
from "The Complete Verve Recordings"

[Ella]
April skies are in your eyes
But darling, don't be blue
Don't cry,
Oh honey please
Don't be that way
Clouds in the sky
Should never make you feel that way
The rain
Will bring the violets of May
Tears are in vain So honey please don't be that way
As long as we
See it through
You'll have me
I'll have you
Sweetheart
Tomorrow is another day
Don't break my heart
Oh honey, please don't be that way
[Louis]
Don't cry,
Oh honey please
Don't be that way
Clouds in the sky
Should never make you feel that way
The rain
Will bring the violets of May
Tears in vain
So honey please don't be that way
As long as we
Will see it through
You'll have me
And I'll have you
Sweetheart
Tomorrow is another day
Don't break my heart
Oh honey, please don't be that way
Don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry

Oh honey, please don't be that way
Oh honey, please don't be that way
Clouds in the sky
Dig those crazy sky
Should never make you feel that way
So don't be that way
Dig the rain
Pitter pitter pitter pitter patter
Bring the violets of May
Pitter patter of the rain drops
Tears in vain
Tears, tears
So honey please don't be that way
Don't be that way
As long as we
(scat)
Will see it through
(scat)
Oh baby, you'll have me
(scat)
And I'll have you
(scat)
Sweetheart
(scat)
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is another day
Don't break my heart
(scat)
Oh honey, please don't be that way
(scat)
Looky here, baby don't cry
(scat)
Oh honey, please don't be that way
(scat)
Clouds in the sky
(scat)
Should never make you feel that way
(scat)
Yeah, don't cry
(scat)
Honey, please don't be that way
(scat)
Clouds in the sky
(scat)
Oh honey, please don't be that way
No honey, I'll never be that way
