Through the meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before”

“From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night.”

Song "I Remember You" (1941)

“Skylark,
Have you seen a valley green with Spring
Where my heart can go a-journeying,
Over the shadows in the rain
To a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight,
Haven't you heard the music in the night,
Wonderful music,
Faint as a will-o-the-wisp,
Crazy as a loon,
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon.”

Song "Skylark" (1942)

“There's a long goodbye,
and it happens every day,
when a passerby
invites your eye
to come away.
Even as you smile a quick hello
you let her go,
you let the moment fly…
Too late you turn your head,
you know you've said
the Long Goodbye.”

You met someone and now you know how it feels - goody, goody”

Lead us lest too far we wander.
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder.”

E-lim-i-nate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister inbetween.”
