Everything But You Lyrics - Duke Ellington Presents - Duke Ellington

You left me a horse from Texas, 

A house with installments due, 

A letter with lots of X-S 

Everything but you. 

You left me some beans from Boston, 

A bicycle built for two, 

A memory to get lost in, 

Everything but you. 

Each day was so gay and so daring, 

I loved every breathtaking minute, 

for how could I know I was sharing 

a kiss without a future in it.

You left me a dream to room with, 

A coffee pot from Peru, 

A knife and fork to spoon with, 

Everything but you. 

You left me a horse from Texas, 

A house with installments due, 

A letter with lots of X-S 

Everything but you. 

You left me some beans from Boston, 

A bicycle built for two, 

A memory to get lost in, 

Everything but you. 

Each day was so gay and so daring, 

I loved every breathtaking minute, 

for how could I know I was sharing 

a kiss without a future in it.

A knife and fork to spoon with, 

Everything but you. 

Everything but you. 

You left me everything, everything but you.
