They Can't Take That Away from Me (#88) - Música de George Gershwin e Letra de Ira Gershwin
Depois do sucesso da ópera “Porgy and Bess”, que estreou a 30 de Setembro de 1935, George e Ira Gershwin voltaram para Hollywood para escrever música, exclusivamente, para o cinema. George esperava produzir de partituras musicais que resultariam em canções de sucesso, e as suas aspirações foram realizadas nos musicais “Shall We Dance” e “Damsel in Distress”, ambos de 1937. Infelizmente ele não viveu para ver a conclusão de “The Goldwyn Follies” (1938), para o qual “show”, ele havia escrito duas canções de sucesso, "Love is Here to Stay" e "Love Walked In". George Gershwin morreu em 11 de Julho de 1937. Embora o enredo fosse fraco e um pouco entediante, “Shall We Dance” foi um êxito de bilheteira. O sucesso de Gershwin e a popularidade das suas estrelas, Fred Astaire e Ginger Rodgers (o seu 17º. filme em quatro anos), sobrepuseram-se à falta de argumento do filme. Somando a entrega total de Astaire em “They Can’t Take That Away From Me”, ainda estavam incluídas “Shall We Dance”, “(I’ve Got) Beginners Luck”, “They All Laughed”, e “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off”, as quais foram todas grandes sucessos de venda de Fred Astaire. Fred tornou a cantar muitos dos seus sucessos em “Steppin’Out”, gravado em 1952, com um grupo de músicos excepcionais de jazz.

Letra (versão de Rod Stweart & Michael Bublé)
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off-key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of...
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

No, no, they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams

The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of...
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

Letra (versão de Jane Monheit & John Pizzarelli)
Our romance won’t end on a sorrowful note
Though by tomorrow you’re gone
The song is ended but is the song right to wrote
The melody lingers on
They may take you from me
I miss your found caress
But though they take you from me
I still possess
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off-key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of...
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me
