That's for Me

William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American singer of ballads and a bandleader of the swing era. Eckstine's smooth baritone and distinctive vibrato broke down barriers throughout the 1940s, first as leader of the original bop big-band, then as the first romantic black male in popular music. Eckstine's recording of "I Apologize" (MGM Pop Single, 1948) was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. more »

I saw you standing in the sun and you were something to see
I know what I liked and I liked what I saw
And I said to myself, that's for me

A lovely morning, I remarked, and you were quick to agree
You wanted to walk and I nodded my head
As I breathlessly said, that's for me

I left you standing under stars, the day's adventures are through
There's nothing for me but the dream in my heart
And the dream in my heart, that's for you
Oh my darling, that's for you
