Count Basie & Joe Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll be standing here with someone new
There will be other songs to sing, another fall, another spring
But there will never be another you
There will be other lips that I may kiss
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do
Yes, I may dream a million dreams, but how can they come true
There will be other lips that I may kiss
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do
Yes, I may dream a million dreams, but how can they come true
If there will never ever be another you?
