Down With Love

Artist: Michael Buble & Holly Palmer

Album: Down with Love soundtrack

Song Length: 2:31

George's Thoughts: A wonderful new release of the Harold Arlen and Barbra Streisand classic that sounds as great or better than any of the traditional versions we're so familiar with. From the motion picture "Down with Love." Too slow for most dance situations, but a popular choice for casual parties and practice.

Song Lyrics:

Down with love the flowers and rice and shoes
Down with love the root of all midnight blues
Down with things that give you that well-known ping
Take that moon wrap it in cellophane

Down with love let's liquidate all its friends
Moon and June and roses and rainbow's ends
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love yes take it away, away

Away
Far away
Give it back to the birds and bees and the Viennese

Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs and down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove
Down with love

Down with love let's liquidate all its friends
The moons the Junes the roses and rainbow's ends
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love yes take it away, away

Far away
So very, very far away
Give it back to the birds and the bees and especially the Viennese

Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs and down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove
Down with love
