lyrics

EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU, I FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

Words & Music by Dennis Livingston


Every time I look at you,
I fall in love again,
like the first night we went walking
on the banks along the Seine.
I know that sounds exactly like
a greeting card cliche,
but it’s simply how I feel day by day.

Of course, it hasn’t all been perfect through the years,
we’ve had our share of petty arguments and angry tears.
But in the end, you help me understand
that love does not endure all by itself,
we have to work to make a marriage turn out right.

I’ve got to give my full attention,
listen to your needs.
I know you take your coffee black,
you know I buy spring seeds.
You share the burdens that I bear
which no one else can hear.
I do my best to further your career.

Of course, for true romance, there’s nothing that can beat
just having Paris at our feet,
but when we come back home
and married life begins again,
I find that courtship never ends.
We do the boring little chores
that knit our lives in subtle ways.

These are lessons that I’ve learned
to take into my heart,
always trying to remember well that
loving is an art.

As long as I have all my strength to live
I’ll say with surprise now and then:
Every time I look at you,
I fall in love again.
