by Nellieanna H. Hay featuring Jerome Kern's "All The Things You Are" ~ an amazing rendition by Herb Alpert! |

It had to be - my song.
It seemed like - destiny.
Ir was played by a "Big Band" of the time -
Time and again I've longed for adventure,
The haunting verse:
You are. . .
You are the angelglow
Someday. . .
When all the things you are. . .are mine!

Nobody seemed to know what it was.
But I was entranced.
Each time I heard it,
it seemed to be playing just for me.
always just instrumental when I caught its strains,
so I couldn't figure it out
from the lyrics.
Till one day ~ I heard them being sung!

something to make my heart beat the faster.
What did I long for?
I never really knew.
Finding your love, I've found my adventure.
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster.
All that I want. . .in all of this world is. . .you. . .
The promised breath of springtime. . .
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are. . .
The breathless hush of evening. . .
That lingers on the brink of a lovely song.
That lights a star.
The sweetest things I know
Are what you are.
My happy arms will hold you. . .
And someday. . .
I'll know that moment divine. . .
