(Title: All The Things You Are)

(Music by Jerome Kern)

(Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II)

(1939)

You are the promised kiss of springtime

That makes the lonely winter seem long.

You are the breathless hush of evening

Abmaj7 Am7b5 D7

That trembles on the brink of a lovely

song.

You are the angel glow

That lights a star.

Cmaj7 F#m7b

The dearest things I know

Are what you are.

One day my happy arms will hold you

And someday I'll know that moment divine

When All The Things You Are are mine.

(I submit this beautiful jazz standard, usually recorded in instrumental

versions by almost everyone pre-fusion, in hopes that most jazz

standards will be submitted by others. Please feel free to email me with
