Karen / Ella Medley (From “Music, Music, Music” TV Special, 1980) Lyrics by Karen Carpenter, Ella Fitzgerald

As Time Goes By

2001

[Karen: This Masquerade]
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play?
Looking for the right words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade
[Ella]
Both afraid to say we’re just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
[Karen: My Funny Valentine]
My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
Yet, you're my favorite work of art
[Ella: I'll Be Seeing You]
I’ll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you
That way I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
[Karen: Someone to Watch Over Me]
There's a somebody I’m longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who’s lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
[Ella: As Time Goes By (Karen)]
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs (Moonlight and love songs)
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion (Hearts full of passion)
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
[Karen]
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
[Ella: Don't Get Around Much Anymore]
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
I couldn't bear it without you
Don’t get around much anymore
[Karen: I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart]
I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song
[Ella]
Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends
[Both]
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, baby, when I say
I won't know sweet music
'Cause I don't get around much
I don't get around much
I don't get around much
I don't get around much anymore
