Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra - You Go To My Head (Vocalion Records 1938)

"You Go to My Head" is a 1938 popular song composed by J. Fred Coots with lyrics by Haven Gillespie. The song is a unique conjunction of a sophisticated lyric and complex, lush harmonic structure by two songwriters who were not generally known for such elegance; nevertheless the song is highly regarded by jazz musicians and critics alike. The song was first recorded in 1938 by Teddy Wilson with a vocal by Nan Wynn. The same year it was recorded by Billie Holiday. On 23 April 1961, Judy Garland performed the song at the "Judy at Carnegie Hall" concert.

You go to my head

And you linger like a haunting refrain

And I find you spinning 'round in my brain

Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head

Like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew

And I find the very mention of you

Like the kicker in a julep or two


The thrill of the thought

That you might give a thought

To my plea
Casts a spell over me

Still I say to myse
lf
"Get ahold of yourself

Can't you see that it never can be"


You go to my head with a smile

That makes my temperature rise

Like a summer with a thousand Julys

You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine

Hasn't a ghost of a chance

In this crazy romance

You go to my head, you go to my head


(bridge)


Though I'm certain that this heart of mine

Hasn't a ghost of a chance

In this crazy romance

You go to my head, you go to my head
