Description

Words and Music by: Irving Berlin (1925)

Performed by: Naomi Joy
I first heard this tune in the 1942 film, “The Pride of the Yankees,” starring Gary Cooper, Teresa Wright, and Walter Brennan. I’ve loved it ever since. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Ev’rything went wrong,
And the whole day long
I’d feel so blue
For the longest while,
I’d forget to smile
Then I met you

Now that my blue days have passed,
Now that I’ve found you at last...

I’ll be loving you, Always
With a love that’s true, Always
When the things you’ve planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand, Always, Always.

Days may not be fair, Always
That’s when I’ll be there, Always
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.

Dreams will all come true,
Growing old with you
And time will fly
Caring each day more,
Than the day before
Till Spring rolls by

Then when the Springtime has gone,
Then will my love linger on...

I’ll be loving you, Always
With a love that’s true, Always
When the things you’ve planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand, Always, Always.

Days may not be fair, Always
That’s when I’ll be there, Always
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.
