She Wasn't You Lyrics

1965 Broadway
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever the Musical - She Wasn't You Lyrics

The song is written by Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner.

EDWARD:
Why did each love melt away before?
Heaven above turn to clay before?
She wasn’t you.
She wasn’t you.

Why did champagne lose its year for me?
Love's haunting strain disappear for me?
What could I do?
She wasn't you.

She wasn't you, and no vows ever chained me.
No, she wasn't you
And goodbyes never pained me.
Now I know why each affair always faded so fast:
Only with you was I born to live;
Only to you is the love I give
Love for as long as a lifetime can last.
