1928 – George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin
How Long Has This Been Going On?
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been going on?
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can’t define
Listen sweet, I repeat
How long has this been going on?
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I’m hurled
Yes, I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once then once more
Yes, what a dunce I was before
But what a break, for heaven’s sake
How long has this been going on?
