To Each His Own
Words & Music by Jay Livingston & Ray Evans
Recorded by The Platters, 1960 (# 21) (also see below)
CM7 F9 CM7 F9
A rose must remain with the sun and the rain,
CM7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7
Or its lovely promise won't come true;
G7 Dm7/G Dm7 Dm7/G CM7 FM7
To each his own, to each his own -- and my own is you.
CM7 F9 CM7 F9
What good is a song, if the words just don't belong?
CM7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7
And a dream must be a dream for two.
F#m7-5 B7 Em7 A7 Dm7 Fdim(I) C9
No good alone, to each his own -- for me there's you.
Bridge:
FM7
If a flame is to grow there must be a glow,
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
To open each door there's a key;
D DM7
I need you, I know, I can't let you go;
Am7 D7 G7
Your touch means too much to me.
C BbM7 C BbM7
Two lips must insist on two more to be kissed,
CM7 Dm7 Em7 Em6 Dm7 G7
Or they'll never know what love can do;
F#m7-5 B7 Em7 A7
To each his own, I've found my own,
Dm7 G7 C
One and only you.
