Where Are You?
Mel Torme’ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
For all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you

I watched Lawrence Welk every time I went to see my grandparents. My grandmother would always have him on and I'd sit right in front of it loving every minute of it -- all at the age of 5 or so (lol)...
