Ooh baby, ooh baby
I wanna be with you tonight

[Chorus]
If I could be with you, I'd love you strong
If I could be with you, I'd love you long
I want you to know that I wouldn't go
Until I told you honey why I love you so
If I could be with you, one hour tonight
If I was free to do the things I might, things I might
I'm telling you true, I'd be anything but blue
If I could be with you, mmm babe, if I could be with you

[Trombone solo: Trummy Young]
[Trumpet solo: Louis Armstrong]
