FOREVER AMBER
David Raksin (m) Johnny Mercer (l)

as rec by Tony Martin  1947


Forever Amber,
She gave a moment a name to remember!
One glance from Amber,
Your heart within you became
As warm as candle flame.

Her smile was sweet
To every man she'd meet;
Innocent as April,
But indiscreet!

If you desired her,
Her lips were willing and warm,
Red as cherries.
But if you tired her,
She'd pass you by, true to form,
Swift as a Summer storm!

Then you'd recall
A girl you used to know,
Forever Amber,
An afterglow!

Then you'd recall
A girl you used to know,
Forever Amber,
An afterglow!
