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

Weill: It Never Was You

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
