george gershwin escreveu esta canção há setenta e sete anos para o musical “shall we dance”, em que astaire a canta para rogers. infelizmente morreu pouco tempo após o filme estrear, não tendo assistido à popularidade que foi ganhando, tornando-se num dos standards incontornáveis do chamado american songbook. no filme, ao contrário do habitual, ginger & fred não dançam na sequência da canção mas, nítida embora longíngua, tenho uma memória dos meus pais a dançarem ao som da cover de frank sinatra. e isso não me podem tirar.

Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note

Though by tomorrow you're gone

The song has ended but as the songwriter wrote,

The melody lingers on.

They may take you from me,

I'll miss your fond caress

But though they take you from me,

I'll still possess...

The way you wear your hat

The way you sip your tea

The memory of all that

No, no they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams

The way you sing off key

The way you haunt my dreams

No, no they can't take that away from me

We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love

Still I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife

The way we danced till three

The way you changed my life

No, no they can't take that away from me

No, they can't take that away from me.
