If I Love Again - Hank Jones

I often wonder why you came to me Brought such a flame to me then let it die

And if another love should find my heart

It will remind my heart of your goodbye

With every new love you’ll come back to me In other eyes it’s you I’ll see

If I love again, though it’s someone new

If I love again it will still be you

In someone’s else’s fond embrace

I’ll close my eyes and see your face

If I love again I’ll find other charms

But I’ll make believe you are in my arms

And though my lips whisper, «I love you"my heart will not be true

I’ll be loving you every time I love again
