I KNOW A PLACE (Cahn / Duke)

from 1953 film "April In Paris" sung by Doris Day
(Vernon Duke (m) Sammy Cahn (l) 1953)

Doris Day
with Orchestra directed by Ray Heindorf
recorded 1953


I know a place,
A very special place,
A place where we alone can go.
No-one sails to its shore,
There's no shore at all,
No house, no door at all;
Still it's there,
Bright and fair!

The day you guess
The place and its address,
That day our happiness will start.
Is it far?
Is it near?
When we kiss you'll see it clearly,
It's the place you hold in my heart!

The day you guess
The place and its address,
That day our happiness will start.
Is it far?
Is it near?
When we kiss you'll see it clearly,
It's the place you hold in my heart!
