I’m Confessin’ | B♭ Sheet Music
Jazz Lead Sheet Transposed for B♭ — trumpet, tenor sax, clarinet
Lyrics
1929 - Chris Smith / Sterling Grant I'm confessing that I love you Tell me do you love me too? I'm confessing that I need you Honest I do, I need you every moment In your eyes I read such strange things But your lips deny they're true Will your answer really change things? Making me blue I'm afraid, someday you'll leave me Saying can we still be friends? If you go, you know you'll grieve me All in life, on you depends Am I guessing that you love me? Dreaming dreams of you in vain? I'm confessing that I love you Over and over again
