a 1946 popular song
words and music by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans
The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
Wise men have shown life is no good alone
Day needs night, flowers need light
I need you, I need you
Refrain
A rose must remain with the sun and the rain
Or its lovely promise won’t come true
To each his own, to each his own
And my own is you
What good is a song if the words just don’t belong
And a dream must be a dream for two
No good alone, to each his own
For me there’s you
If a flame is to grow there must be a glow
To open each door there’s a key
I need you I know, I can’t let you go
Your touch means too much to me
Two lips must insist on two more to be kissed
Or they’ll never know what love can do
To each his own, I’ve found my own
One and only you
