Lyrics

[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
