IF EVER I SEE YOU AGAIN
(Joe Brooks)

Also recorded by: Johnny Carr; Byron Whitman
As recorded by DEBBIE BOONE:
Long lonely highways that reach out to nowhere
And I'm never turning for home
Like the old river bending, the pain never ends
And I walk through this world all alone
And sometimes it seems that I never lost you
And that you're not really gone
But deep in my heart, I know it's over
But I have a dream that goes on
And if ever I see you again
Maybe this time it'll work out alright
Maybe this time we won't say goodbye
But only goodnight
With a love that won't end
If ever I see you again
Warm sleepy mornings, just being next to you
Feeling you close by my side
Nothing on earth has ever felt better
Than the feelings I felt deep inside
Yes, sometimes it seems that I never lost you
And that your not really gone
'Cause I have this dream, this wonderful dream
And it just goes on and goes on
And if ever I see you again
Maybe this time it'll work out alright
Maybe this we won't say goodbye
But only goodnight
With a love that won't end
If ever I see you again

As recorded by ROBERTA FLACK:
I've wondered all my life
How I could ever let you go
There's not a lot I'd change in my life
But one thing that I know
If ever I see you again
Maybe this time it'll work out alright
Maybe this time we won't say goodbye
But only goodnight
With a love that won't end
If ever I see you again
Warm sleepy mornings waking up next to you
Feeling you close by my side
Nothing on earth has ever felt better
Then the feelings I've felt deep inside
Sometimes it seems that I never lost you
And that your not really gone
'Cause I have this dream, this wonderful dream
And it just goes on and goes on
And If ever I see you again
Maybe this time it'll work out alright
Maybe this time we won't say goodbye
But only goodnight
With a love that won't end
If ever I see you again
