Lena Horne
I’m Glad There Is You
Said I many times - love is allusion
A feeling result of confusion
With knowing smile and blase sigh
A cynical so-and-so was I
I felt sure, so positive
So utterly unchangingly certain
That I never was aware
Of love and you
Till suddenly I realized there was love
And you and I
In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
In this world of overrated pleasures
Of underrated treasures
I'm glad there is you
I love to live
I wanna live with you beside me
This role so new, I'll muddle through
With you to guide me in this world
Where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever I'm glad there is you
