It Was Never You

It Never Was You （From Knickerbocker Holiday）-Lotte Lenya

Written by：Kurt Weill/Maxwell Anderson

I've been running through rains

And the winds that follow after

For one certain face

And an unforgotten laughter

I've been following trails

I've been staring after ships

For a certain pair of eyes

And a certain pair lips

Yes I've looked everywhere

Where you can look without wings

And I've found a great variety

Of interesting things

But it never was you

It never was anywhere you

An occasional sunset reminded me

Or a flower glowing high on a tulip tree

Or one red star hung low in the west

Or a heart break call from a meadowlark's nest

Made me think for a moment

Maybe it's true

I found you in the stars

In the call

In the blue

But it never was you

It never was anywhere you

Anywhere

Anywhere you
