AND YOU WERE THERE
Bixio / Carpenter

as rec by Gracie Fields w Robert Farnon & his Orch  
1950


It was on a Summer night,
And you were there!
Both the time and place were right,
And you were there!
Something told me at the start
You were meant to play your part,
So I looked into my heart,
And you were there!

Then I dreamed a lovely dream,
And you were there!
Ah, the moments so supreme
We two could share!
Soon the glow became a flame
At the whisper of my name,
Then the tender kisses came,
And you were there!

(humming)
Something told me at the start
You were meant to play your part,
So I looked into my heart,
And you were there!

Then I dreamed a lovely dream,
And you were there!
Ah, the moments so supreme
We two could share!
Soon the glow became a flame, oh-oh-oh-oh,
At the whisper of my name,
Then the tender kisses came,
And you were there!
