When I Walk With You Lyrics by Alfred Drake

Beggar’s Holiday / Bet Your Life

0

[MACHEATH]
We've no place to be alone, you and I
There's no starlit country lane to wander through
In these lanes of steel and stone, you and I
Find the neon hides the brightest star from view
Stand in alleys, parks and hallways
Yet you find that there is always
A passer-by who'll wink an eye and grin
When in hotel rooms I kiss you
Seems the walls are made of tissue
And day and night your neighbor's always in
But when I see you smile
We might as well be on a desert isle
When I walk with you
Down a crowded avenue
In a sea of empty faces
Only your smile comes through
When I walk with you
There's a peaceful scene in view
In the noisy city places
Only your voice rings true
Our hearts are thrilled
By something we have that can never go wrong
And we can build
A faraway world in the midst of a throng
The two of us find that we don't really mind
The people, the places, the hullaballoo
For you never see anyone but me
And for me, there is no one but you
[POLLY]
When I walk with you
Down a crowded avenue
In a sea of empty faces
Only your smile comes through
When I walk with you
There's a peaceful scene in view
In the noisy city places
Only your voice rings true
Our hearts are thrilled
By something we have that can never go wrong
And we can build
A faraway world in the midst of a throng
The two of us find
That we don't really mind
[MACHEATH & POLLY]
The people, the places and the hullaballoo
For you never see anyone but me
And for me, there is no one but you!
