Oh I was moved by your screen dream Celluloid pictures of living Your death could not kill our love for you Take two people, romantic Smoky nightclub situation Your cigarette traces a ladder Here's looking at you kid Celebrate years Here's looking at you kid Wipe away tears Long time, since we're together Now I hope it's forever Ideal love flies away now White jacket, mmmn, black tie wings too You gave her away to the hero Words don't express my meaning Notes could not spell out the score But finding not keeping's the lesson Here's looking at you kid Hard to forget Here's looking at you kid At least not yet Your memory stays It lingers ever Will fade away never
