Another You (Today I heard this wonderful old ‘chestnut’ on the radio – and by coincidence tonight I read ‘deer’s latest ballad on the same theme – I can’t help myself – I too must try my hand) The Original: (full title: There Will Never be Another You) There will be many other nights like this, And I’ll be standing here with someone new, There will be other songs to sing, Another fall, another spring. But there will never be another you. There will be other lips that I may kiss, But they won’t thrill me like yours used to do, Yes, I may dream a million dreams, but how can they come true, If there will never ever be another You. My effort: I’ve met so many in all my years of life Kissed quite a few, even made two my wife No one has captured my heart quite the same I was simply reading, I’ve only myself to blame You wrapped me with tears, filled me with laughter Warmed my heart with joy, gave my soul its rapture So what would I do if I ever lost you? I know already I’d always be blue Another you? Never! You have my heart If I lost you from me it would part All the sun in my life, and the moon as well My days in darkness forever I’d dwell So kiss me my sweetheart, give me my life With a glorious hug we’ll abandon all strife < !signature--> We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us... how we can take it, what we can do with it [This message has been edited by Wilfred Yeats (edited 10-21-2000).] |

Evening Wilfred, You writing has the desired effect that you were looking for. You tried your hand and came up with a beauty. Nicely done, Wilfred. Bill |

Wilfred.... This is one of my most favorite songs....I love to sit and play this on my keyboard along with I'll Be Seeing You, and Someone To Watch Over Me. I love to sing them!! So, of course, I was thrilled to see this posting and your beautiful writing!! Such wonderful words from you....  Follow your dream! |

BDC- With admirers like you - I must take the words in small doses - to keep my ego at bay - Thank you Bill- Good Morning - your words are so kind - thank you. Marge - There is no comparison - deer is a champ - I didn't really 'see/read' his poem until after I'd begun my effort - Yet I could not ignore the beauty of his words. Karilea- I love having fans like you around  (gonna go bump you when I finish this reply )Sunny - 'Someone to watch over me' is one of my favorites to play too along with many others of that era (breeze and i - little white lies etc. ) Thank you so much for reading/respondingMartie- Love songs? - hey it's easy when you're in love ~S~ Irish Rose- see? that's what you miss being so young ! - yes - a great song - (not my poem )Thank you |

Wil, you did it again took some old words and made them sing you pull on the chords of my heartstring and soon all those words with melody ring what can I say but applause, applause I hope your writing never has pause. Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |
