They Can't Take That Away from Me
Unforgettable Moments: Billie Holiday's Timeless Lyrics of Love and Memory
Lyrics
The way you wear your hat
The manner in which you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The way you delicately drink your tea
The memory of all that
The recollection of all those moments
No, no they can't take that away from me
No one can deprive me of those memories
The way your smile just beams
The radiance in your smile
The way you sing off key
The unique charm when you sing slightly off-key
The way you haunt my dreams
The way you persistently appear in my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me
No one can take away these memories from me
We may never, never meet again
We might never cross paths again
On the bumpy road to love
On the challenging journey of love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
Yet, I will always preserve the memory of our time together
The way you hold your knife
The way you handle your knife
The way we danced till three
The way we danced until the early hours
The way you changed my life
How you profoundly influenced and changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they cannot take those experiences away from me
The way you wear your hat
Reiteration of the impact of how you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
Reiteration of the distinctive way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
Revisiting the memories of those moments
No, no they can't take that away from me
Emphasizing that those memories are indelible
The way your smile just beams
Highlighting the brightness in your smile
The way you sing off key
Reiteration of the charm in your off-key singing
The way you haunt my dreams
Emphasizing the persistent nature of your presence in my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me
Asserting that these memories are beyond anyone's confiscation
We may never, never meet again
We might not have another chance to meet
On the bumpy road to love
On the challenging journey of love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
Nevertheless, the memory of our time together will endure
The way you hold your knife
Describing the unique way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
Recalling the joyous moments of dancing until the early morning
The way you changed my life
Reflecting on how you significantly altered my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
Asserting once again that these experiences are beyond seizure
No, they can't
Affirming that no one has the power to take these memories away
Take that away from me
Reiteration of the sentiment that these cherished memories are irremovable
