Can I Help It 
Glenn Miller
Written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Mercer. 

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on October 3rd, 1939 with Ray Eberle. 
  

You left one yesterday 
You took my heart away 
And now I dread each newborn day 
Can I help it? 
Can I help it? 

Along each thoroughfair 
While people stop and stare 
I talk to you but you’re not there 
Can I help it, sweetheart? 

I try to sleep 
My dreams are haunted 
By a million stars that pry 
How can I sleep? 
Your eyes look just that way 
The day we said goodbye... 
  
I tried forgetting you 
I tried to hurt you too 
But now I find I still love you 
Can I help it, sweetheart?
