Three Little Words lyrics — music by Harry Ruby, lyrics by Bert Kalmar, published in 1930.
Three Little Words, oh what I’d give for that wonderful phrase
To hear those Three Little Words, That’s all I’d live
For the rest of my days;
And what I feel in my heart, they tell sincerely,
No other words can tell it half so clearly,
Three Little Words, eight little letters,
Which simply mean — I Love You — !
(from the musical Three Little Words starring Fred Astaire and Red Skelton)
