My One And Only Love/This Is Always - Renée Fleming, Fred Hersch

The very thought of you makes my heart sing like an april breeze on the wings

of spring

And you appear in all your splendor

My one and only love

The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms in the hush of night

When you’re here in my arms I feel your lips so warm and tender

My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven

A heaven that I never known

The blush on your cheek whenever I speak

Tells me that you are my own

You fill my eager heart with such desire

Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire

I give myself in sweet surrender

My one and only love

This isn’t sometimes, this is always

This isn’t maybe, this is always

This is love

The real beggining of forever

This isn’t just midsummer madness

The passing glow of moment’s gladness

Yes, it’s love

I knew it on the night we met

You tied a string around my heart

So how can I forget you

With every kiss I know that

this is always
