echo of a romantic song

It had to be you --

It had to be you ...


I wandered around, and finally found
The somebody who --

Could make me be true --

Could make me be blue.
Or even be glad,
Just to be sad,
thinking of you ...

Some others I've seen ...

might never be mean.

Might never be cross --
or try to be boss--

But they wouldn't do.

For nobody else
gave me the thrill

With all your faults,
I love you still

It had to be you

wonderful you

it had to be you.

1924

The first time I saw the film, When Harry Met Sally... I thought it reminded me of Woody Allen's Annie Hall in several ways:  this song was one of them.  It's in both movies.
