[Intro]
(Humming)
[Verse 1 : Ella]
They met at a party
A wonderful gay affair
They looked at each other
And nobody else was there
When they said hello
It was more like a sigh
Even as you and I
[Verse 2 : Ella]
The People who knew them
Predicted that it would be
The sweetest and greatest
Romance of the Century
They walked in a dream
As the days drifted by
Even as you and i
[Chorus : Ella]
They told the tender night how true their love was
While up above was their lucky star
Now wouldn't it be wrong if they were parted
And broken hearted
Well they are
[Verse 3 : Ella]
When Lovers are lonely
What good is their foolish pride
They ought to be happy
They ought to be side by side
And if there's a chance
Dont you think they should try
Even as you and i
[Chorus : Choir]
O They told the tender night how true their love was
While up above was their lucky star
[Choir : Only Men]
Now wouldn't it be wrong if they were parted
[Choir : All]
And broken hearted
Well they are
[Verse 3 : Ella]
When Lovers are lonely
What good is their foolish pride
They ought to be happy
They ought to be side by side
And if there's a chance
Dont you think they should try (ooh)
Even as you (as you)
And I (Will Side by side like you [?] in love)
