Bing Crosby - I Love You Samantha

Porter wrote two more film scores and music for a television special before ending his Hollywood career. The film High Society (1956), starring Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Grace Kelly, included "I Love You, Samantha".

Porter was in constant pain and addicted to analgesics by this time.  Porter's physical condition plummeted even further not long after . In 1958, after a valiant battle, the germs inhabiting his bone marrow won and Porter's right leg was amputated at mid-thigh.

I Love You, Samantha

Samantha, you're all
I'll ever adore,
So forgive me, do,
If I say to you
What I've said so often before.

I love you, Samantha,
And my love will never die.
Remember, Samantha,
I'm a one-gal guy.
Together, Samantha,
We could ride a star and ride it high.
Remember, Samantha,
I'm a one-gal guy.
And if some distant day
You decided to say,
"Get along, go away, goodbye!"
Remember, Samantha,
I'm a one-gal guy.
Remember, Samantha,
I'm a one gal guy.
