I Poured My Heart Into a Song [song lyrics]
Song lyrics to I Poured My Heart into a Song, written by Irving Berlin, sung by Rudy Vallee in Second Fiddle
I poured my heart into a song,
And when you hear it, please remember from the start
You won’t be hearing just the words of a song,
Tou will be listening to my heart.
I poured my heart into a song,
And I’m afraid the words I chose are not so smart;
I couldn’t think of clever things to say in my song,
I had to say it with my heart.

The moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our favorite song
The things we did last summer
