Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I used to go on my lonely way
With no romance in my heart
Although I searched for it night and day
It took this moment to start it
Refrain:
After all these years
Here am I with you at last
After all these years
Here’s a thrill that’s new at last
I had a daydream
A gay dream of my ideal
Your sweet and tender surrender
Has made it real
After all those nights
When I used to pray for love
Now I’ve reached the heights
And I shout Hooray for love
Our lips have blended
You’ve ended my fears and
You’re in my arms
After all these years
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
