Even As You And I - Ella Fitzgerald

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

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

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 brokenhearted well they are

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

Don’t you think they should try

Even as you and I

O 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 ever were parted

And brokenhearted well they are

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

Don’t you think they should try (ooh)

Even as you (as you)

And I (Well side by side like you and I)
