It Never Was You (1960 version)

I've been running through rains
And the wind that follows after
For one certain face
And an unforgotten laughter
I've been following signs
I've been searching through the lands
For a certain pair of arms
And a certain pair of hands
Yes, I tried a kiss here
And I tried a kiss there
For when you're out in company
The boys and girls will pair
But it never was you
It never was anywhere you
An occasional sunset reminded me
Or a flower hanging high on a julep tree
Or one red star hung low in the west
Or a heart-break call from a Meadow Lark's nest
Made me think for a moment, maybe, it's true
I found him in the star, in the call, in the blue
But it never was you
It never was anywhere you
Anywhere, anywhere you
