Question
I'm looking for a song with the lyrics: You and I know the reason why, i believe it was called "you and I" but I can't find the song or who sang it.

Answer
Hi Ginni,

Though the 30's and 40's are way out of my realm, I feel bad not being able to help you. So, this is what I have found:

"You and I Were Made for Love"
Written by Earl K. Brent and Mort Greene
Played on the piano by Tom Collins
Sung by Mary Howard

It is from the 1939 movie, "Somewhat Secret". There are no lyrics to be found anywhere. In fact, I don't think even the soundtrack is available!

Sorry, that was my best effort. Thanks for the question.
