Desperately seeking lyrics and music (notes) of the song "Would You like to be the Love of My Life?" Johnny created together with Artie Shaw in 1940 for the musical comedy SECOND CHORUS (that song got an Oscar-nomination!). Who could help me?



"Love of My Life"...lyric by Johnny Mercer...music by Artie Shaw.
Paramount.1940.Fred Astaire,Paulette Goddard.

Would you like to be the Love of My Life
for always,
And always
watch over me?
To square my blunders, and share my dreams,
One day with caviar,
Next day a chocolate bar.
Would you like to take the merry go round
I'll lead you?
I'll need you,
Wait and you'll see.
I hope in your horoscope there is room
for a dope who adors you,
That would make the only dreams of my life
come true,
For the love of my life
is you.............
