Whenever it's early twilight I watch 'til a star breaks through Funny, it's not a star I see It's always you Whenever I roam through roses And lately I often do Funny, it's not a rose I touch It's always you If a breeze caresses me It's really you strolling by If I hear a melody It's merely the way you sigh Wherever you are, you're near me You dare me to be untrue Funny, each time I fall in love It's always you If a breeze caresses me It's really you strolling by If I hear a melody It's merely the way you sigh Wherever you are, you're near me You dare me to be untrue Funny, each time I fall in love It's always you
