It All Depends on You - Ruth Etting

Lovers depend on moonlight

For a love affair

Babies depend on mothers

For their tender care

Flowers depend on sunshine

And the morning dew

Each thing depends on something

And I depend on you

I can be happy, I can be sad

I can be good or I can be bad

It all depends on you

I can be lonely out in a crowd

I can be humble, I can be proud

It all depends on you

I can save money, or spend it Go right on living, or end it You’re to blame, Honey

For what I do

I know that I can be beggar

I can be King

I can be almost any old thing

It all depends on you

Isn’t it sweet to know, Dear

You can help me on Wouldn’t it hurt to know, Dear

All my hopes were gone

Wouldn’t it make you proud, Dear

If I made a name

But if I failed to win, dear

Would you want all the blame

I can be happy, I can be sad

I can be good or I can be bad

It all depends on you

I can be lonely out in a crowd

I can be humble, I can be proud

It all depends on you

I can save money, or spend it Go right on living, or end it You’re to blame, honey

For what I do

I know that I can be beggar,

I can be King

I can be almost any old thing

It all depends on you

Yes, it all depends on you
