IT HAD TO BE YOU
Dick Haymes Helen Forrest

Dick: It had to be you,it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true,could make be blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.

Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might even be cross, or try to be boss,
but they wouldn't do.

For nobody else gives me the thrill
With all your faults, dear, I love you still.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
It had to be you.

Helen: It had to be you,it had to be you

Could make me be true,could make be blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.

Might even be cross, or try to be boss,
but they wouldn't do.

Dick: For nobody else gives me the thrill
With all your faults, dear, I love you still.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
It had to be you.

Richard Benjamin Haymes,
Born: Buenos Aires, Argentina September 13, 1918

Passed: March 29, 1980, Los Angeles, CA

Dick Haymes was one of the most splendid
ballad singers of his era, the near-equal
of Crosby and Sinatra on classics of the
form like "It Can't Be Wrong,"
"Till the End of Time" and "It Might as
"It Might As Well Be Spring." Though he
was unable to cash in during the '50s
golden era of adult-pop (due to alcoholism,
troubles with the government, and a few
tempestuous relationships), Haymes continued
performing and recording until his death in 1980.
