Weill: It Never Was You - Kiri Te Kanawa, André Previn, Mundell Lowe

I’ve been running through rains

And the wind that follows after

For one certain face

And an unforgotten laughter

I’ve been following signs

I’ve been searching through the lands

For a certain pair of arms

And a certain pair of hands

Yes, I looked everywhere

You can look without wings

And I found a great variety

Of interesting things

But it never was you

It never was anywhere you

An occasional sunset reminded me

Or a flower hanging high on a tulip tree

Or one red star hung low in the west

Or a heartbreak call from the meadowlark’s nest

Made me think for a moment, «Maybe it’s true

I found her in the star, in the call, in the blue.»

But it never was you

It never was anywhere you

Anywhere, anywhere you
