I Can't Give You Anything But Love Jimmy McHugh (m) - Dorothy Fields (w), 1928, Louis Armstrong

I can’t give you anything but love, baby
That’s the only thing I’ve got plenty of, baby,
Dream awhile, Scheme awhile, You’re sure to find
Happiness,  and I guess, all these things
You’ve always pined for
 
Gee, I’d like to see you looking swell, baby,
Diamond bracelets, Woolworth doesn’t sell, baby,
Till that lucky day, You know darn well, baby,
I can’t give you anything but love.



From Lew Leslie's Blackbirds of 1928, Jimmy McHugh's and Dorthy Field's first collaboration.
