Theme of Maxwell House Coffee-Time, 1941
Words and music by Meredith Willson
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Poet and musician sing the same old tune
To the sweethearts that come and go
Let your intuition aided by the moon
Tell you little things the poet doesn’t know
Chorus
Darling, you and I know the reason why
A summer sky is blue
And we know why birds in the trees
Sing melodies, too
And why love will grow from the first “hello”
Until the last “goodbye”
So, to sweet romance there is but one answer
You and I
