Before I gaze at you again
I'll need a time for tears
Before I gaze at you again
Let hours turn to years
I have so much forgetting to do
Before I try to gaze again at you
Stay away until you cross my mind
Barely once a day
Stay away until I wake and find
That I can smile and say
That I shall gaze at you again
Without a blush or qualm
My eyes will shine like new again
My manner poised and calm
No sign of fear
Not even a sigh
And so till when
We meet again, goodbye
Writer(s): Alan Jay Lerner, Frederick Loewe
