Now It Can Be Told - Mildred Bailey, Red Norvo

All the world’s great lovers have been glorified

History placed them in a romantic set

In between book covers they are side by side

But the real thing hasn’t been written yet

Now it can be told

Told in all its glory

Now that we have met

The world may know the sentimental story

The greatest romance they ever knew

Is waiting to

Unfold

Now it can be told

As an inspiration

Every other tale

Of boy meets girl is just an imitation

The great love story

Has never been told before

But now

Now it can be told
