AND THEN YOU
(A. Spezze / K. Ancell)

Johnny Shane - 1964



I had no tomorrow
I lived for yesterday
I only found sorrow
With every passing day

For in a fleeting moment
I told my love goodbye
And started all those teardrops
I knew that I would die

And then you
Took away my pain
Took away the sorrow
Made me live again

And then you

SPOKEN:
You know, before you came along
I didn't think I was gonna last
Because ev'ry road I took
Lookin' for the bright spots and happiness
Only seemed to bring back the past
So, when I say to you
That you made me live again
I can only hope that you know it's true
Because my world was all darkness
And then you

I've had my share of fortune
I've had my share of fame
I had my chance at romance
Didn't play the lovers game

So, what good is a fortune
And what good is fame
When you've no one to share them
And know that you're to blame

And then you
Took away my pain
Took away the sorrow
Made me live again

And then you
