I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face

I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face - Marlene Dietrich

I was serenely independent and content before we met

Surely I could always be that way again and yet

I've grown accustomed to her looks accustomed to her voice

Accustomed to her face

I've grown accustomed to her face

She almost makes the day begin

I've grown accustomed to the tune she whistles night and noon

Her smiles her frowns her ups her downs

Are second nature to me now

Like breathing out and breathing in

I was serenely independent and content before we met

Surely I could always be that way again and yet

I've grown accustomed to her looks accustomed to her voice

Accustomed to her face

But I'm so used to hear her say "Good morning" every day

Her joys her woes her highs her lows

Are second nature to me now

Like breathing out and breathing in

I'm very grateful she's a woman

And so easy to forget

Rather like a habit you can always break

I've grown accustomed to the trace of

Something in the air

Accustomed to her face
