It Had To Be You   Helen Forrest and Dick Haymes (#4 in 1944), Betty Hutton (#5 in 1944),
Artie Shaw (#10 in 1944), Harry Connick Jr.
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you
 
Some others I've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill -
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you











From the 1944 Hollywood musical "Show Business" this song was interpolated in numerous motion pictures:
Incendiary Blonde starring Betty Hutton in 1944; Living in a Big Way in 1946;
in the Gus Kahn story, I'll See You In My Dreams in 1951, sung by Danny Thomas.
Later featured in the movie When Harry Met Sally (by Harry Connick Jr)
Written by Isham Jones and Gus Kahn
