Even as You and I
They met at a party
A wonderful gay affair
They looked at each other
And nobody else was there
When they said hello
It was more like a sigh
Even as you and I
The people who knew them
Predicted that it would be
The sweetest and greatest
Romance of the century
They walked in a dream
As the days drifted by
Even as you and I
They told the tender night how true their love was
While up above was
Their lucky star
Now wouldn't it be wrong if they were parted
And broken-hearted
Well, they are
When lovers are lonely
What good is their foolish pride?
They ought to be happy
They ought to be side by side
And if there's a chance
Don't you think they should try
Even as you and I
Oh, they told the tender night how true their love was
While up above was their lucky star
Now wouldn't it be wrong
If they ever were parted
And broken-hearted
Well, they are
When lovers are lonely
What good is their foolish pride?
They ought to be happy
They ought to be side by side
And if there's a chance
Don't you think they should try?
Even as you (as you) and I
(Oh, side by side like you and i)
A wonderful gay affair
They looked at each other
And nobody else was there
When they said hello
It was more like a sigh
Even as you and I
The people who knew them
Predicted that it would be
The sweetest and greatest
Romance of the century
They walked in a dream
As the days drifted by
Even as you and I
They told the tender night how true their love was
While up above was
Their lucky star
Now wouldn't it be wrong if they were parted
And broken-hearted
Well, they are
When lovers are lonely
What good is their foolish pride?
They ought to be happy
They ought to be side by side
And if there's a chance
Don't you think they should try
Even as you and I
Oh, they told the tender night how true their love was
While up above was their lucky star
Now wouldn't it be wrong
If they ever were parted
And broken-hearted
Well, they are
When lovers are lonely
What good is their foolish pride?
They ought to be happy
They ought to be side by side
And if there's a chance
Don't you think they should try?
Even as you (as you) and I
(Oh, side by side like you and i)
