Astaire introduced this song in the 1937 musical Shall We Dance?, in which his character proclaims his love for Linda (Ginger Rogers). One of Gershwin’s most affecting songs, this was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Song, but infamously lost to “Sweet Leilani”.
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep
The memory of
[Verse 3]
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
Oh, no. They can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me
[Verse 3]
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
They Can’t Take That Away from Me was written by Ira Gershwin & George Gershwin.
