GREAT EXPECTATIONS
(Bob Hilliard / Sammy Fain)


Keely Smith - 1960



When we first met we had great expectations
A plan for the future that began with a kiss
For when you're in your lover's arms you dream such wonderful things
Your imagination has wings

I can't forget all those great expectations
Is love meant to blossom then fade like a rose
If we lose the paradise, the wondrous life we plan
My heart will never understand

(Instrumental Break)

Is love meant to blossom then fade like a rose
If we lose the paradise, the wondrous life we plan
My heart will never understand
