Billy Eckstine · Other Songs - Billy Eckstine

Time after time, I tell myself that I'm

So lucky to be loving you

So lucky to be the one you run to see

In the evening, when the day is through



I only know what I know, the passing years will show

You've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm

So lucky to be loving you



I only know what I know, the passing years will show

You've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm

So lucky to be loving you
