This was the most successful recording of 1945 for Bing. Recorded Aug. 7 with Carmen Cavallaro at the piano, the song rocketed to the top of the Billboard charts, where it remained for 6 weeks. All together, "I Can't Begin to Tell You" stayed on the pop charts for 20 weeks.
I can't begin to tell you
How much you mean to me.
My world would end
If ever we were through.
I can't begin to tell you
How happy I would be
If I could speak my mind
Like others do.
I make such pretty speeches
Whenever we're apart.
But when you're near
The words I choose
Refuse to leave my heart.
So take the sweetest phrases
The world has ever known
And make believe
I've said them all to you.
