I Concentrate On You
Johnny Mathis
Written by Cole Porter
This version did not chart but
In 1940, competing versions charted by Tommy Dorsey (# 20) and Eddy Duchin (# 25)
Sung in the film "Broadway Melody of 1940" by Douglas McPhail and danced by
Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell
Whenever skies look gray to me
And trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds become too strong
I concentrate on you
When fortune cries "Nay, nay" to me
And people declare "You're through"
Whenever the blues become my only song
I concentrate on you
On your smile so sweet, so tender
When at first my kiss you decline
On the light in your eyes when you surrender
And once again our arms intertwine
And so when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true
To prove that even wise men can be wrong
I concentrate on you
