Heart and Soul

After watching series of random Simpsons episodes today, I stumbled on an old classic. A beautiful song that is quite popular, but I never actually got to know its title until now.

It's "Heart and Soul", a popular song of the 1930s, composed by Hoagy Carmichael and Frank Loesser. It was (and still is) a popular piano duet other than Chopsticks. This song has been covered by many singers and bands, but my personal favourite would be an amateur video of someone playing this song on a ukulele.

Lyrics to this song:

Heart and soul, I fell in love with you,
Heart and soul, the way a fool would do,
Madly...
Because you held me tight,
And stole a kiss in the night...

Heart and soul, I begged to be adored,
Lost control, and tumbled overboard,
Gladly...
That magic night we kissed,
There in the moon mist.

Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much too thrilling,
Never before were mine so strangely willing.

But now I see, what one embrace can do,
Look at me, it's got me loving you,
Madly...
That little kiss you stole,
Held all my heart and soul.

p/s-The Simpsons episode I referred earlier was "Gone Maggie Gone" (S20E13).
