I DON'T WANT TO MAKE HISTORY
Hal Kemp

Columbus took a chance

And I would take a chance
As long as there's a moon up above
But I don't want to make history
I just want to make love

Napoleon took a chance
But when I think of France
It's Josephine that I'm thinking of
Cause I don't want to make history
I just want to make love

We all can't be heroes
We all can't be great
Right now I'll settle for a love affair,
And the dickens with affairs of state

I hear a call to arms
But sentimental arms
My banner is the moon up above
For I don't want to make history
I just want to make love
