This Year Next Year

by Hoagy Carmichael

This year, next year, sometime, never
Will you ever be my own?
Don't you know how much I love you?
Only you and you alone

Springtime, summer, autumn, winter
Must you keep me waiting still?
Now the days are growing shorter
There's no longer time to kill

Why won't you tell me, tell me you need me?
Why do you hesitate?
You were my first love, you'll be my last love
But don't leave it too late

This year, next year, sometime, never
People say why waste your time
But I know it's worth the waiting
If someday you'll say you're mine

Why won't you tell me, tell me you need me?
Why do you hesitate?
You were my first love, you'll be my last love
But don't leave it too late

Springtime, summer, autumn, winter
Must you keep me waiting still?
Now the days are growing shorter
There's no longer time to kill

This year, next year, sometime, never
Will you ever be my own?
Don't you know how much I love you?
Only you and you alone
Only you and you alone

This year, next year, sometime, never
Will you ever be my own?
Don't you know how much I love you?
Only you and you alone
Only you and you alone
