Everything But You - Original - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

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

You left me a dream to room with

A coffee pot from Peru

A knife and fork to spoon with

Everything but you

Everything but you

You left me everything, everything but you
