Billy Eckstine

William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American singer of ballads and a bandleader of the swing era. Eckstine's smooth baritone and distinctive vibrato broke down barriers throughout the 1940s, first as leader of the original bop big-band, then as the first romantic black male in popular music. Eckstine's recording of "I Apologize" (MGM Pop Single, 1948) was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. more »

I think of you with every breath I take,
And every breath becomes a sigh;
Not a sigh of despair
But a sign that I care for you.

I hear your name with every breath I take,
On every breeze that wanders by,
And your name is a song
I'll remember the long years through.

Even though I walk alone you guide me,
In the darkness you light my way,
And all the while inside me,
Love seems to say, "Some day, some day!";

And when I sleep you keep my heart awake,
But when I wake from dreams divine,
Every breath that I take
Is a prayer that I'll make you mine.

I walk alone, still you guide me,
In the darkness, oh sweetheart, you light my way;
And all the while inside me,
Love seems to say, "Some day, some day!".

Oh darlin', when I sleep you keep my heart awake,
And when I wake from dreams divine,
Every breath that I take
Is a prayer that I'll make you mine.
