Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away)

 Al Jolson

 Words by Ira Gershwin and Gus Kahn

 Music by George Gershwin

 

 A # 9 hit in 1929 for Al Jolson

 Originally from the Broadway show "Show Girl" where it was sung by Nick Lucas

 and danced by Ruby Keeler.

 It later was sung by Jolson, dubbing for Larry Parks, in the 1946 film "the Jolson

 Story."

 

 Liza, Liza, skies are gray

 But if you smile on me, all the clouds will roll away.

 Liza, Liza, don't delay

 Come keep me company, and the clouds will roll away.

 See the honey moon a-shinnig down

 We could make a date with Parson Brown.

 So, Liza, Liza name the day

 When you'll belong to me, and the clouds will roll away.
