"I'll Be Around" — Alec Wilder's 1942 patient declaration.
I'll be around,
No matter how
You treat me now
I'll be around from now on.
Your latest love
Can never last,
And when its past,
I'll be around when he's gone
Good-bye again,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Oh drop a line to say you `re feeling fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
So I'll be around when he's gone.
Good-bye again,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Oh drop a line to say your feeling fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
So I'll be around when he's gone.
Знаете ли вы, что...
- Written by Alec Wilder in 1942. The declaration of availability — I'll be around whenever you change your mind. Sinatra's recordings of the song made waiting sound less like resignation than like a permanent option.
