[00:00.457] | It Never Was You (From Knickerbocker Holiday)-Lotte Lenya |
[00:00.820] | Written by:Kurt Weill/Maxwell Anderson |
[00:04.983] | I've been running through rains |
[00:09.191] | And the winds that follow after |
[00:13.759] | For one certain face |
[00:17.631] | And an unforgotten laughter |
[00:22.79] | I've been following trails |
[00:25.979] | I've been staring after ships |
[00:29.644] | For a certain pair of eyes |
[00:33.763] | And a certain pair lips |
[00:37.795] | Yes I've looked everywhere |
[00:40.939] | Where you can look without wings |
[00:44.683] | And I've found a great variety |
[00:49.27] | Of interesting things |
[00:54.435] | But it never was you |
[01:01.692] | It never was anywhere you |
[01:07.350] | An occasional sunset reminded me |
[01:12.38] | Or a flower glowing high on a tulip tree |
[01:16.420] | Or one red star hung low in the west |
[01:21.260] | Or a heart break call from a meadowlark's nest |
[01:26.428] | Made me think for a moment |
[01:32.699] | Maybe it's true |
[01:35.677] | I found you in the stars |
[01:40.319] | In the call |
[01:44.95] | In the blue |
[01:48.823] | But it never was you |
[01:55.945] | It never was anywhere you |
[02:03.112] | Anywhere |
[02:06.376] | Anywhere you |
