Still
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
(still) though we're far apart (I love you still)
(Still) after all this time
(still) you're still on my mind (I love you still)
I've lost count of the hours and I've lost track of the days
In fact I've lost just about everything since you went away
Everything that is except the memories you left me
And that's one things that no one can mar
I don't know who you're with I don't even know where you've gone
My only hope is that some day you might hear this song
And you'll know I wrote it especially for you and I
love you wherever you are
(Still) after all this time
(still) you're still on my mind (I love you still)
This flame in my heart is like an eternal fire
For every day it burns hotter and every day it burns higher
And I haven't been able to put out one little flicker
not even with all these tears
My friends think I'm crazy and maybe I am
But I'll carry this torch just as long as I can
For someday you might just decide to come home
And I want you to know I'm still here
(Still) thought you broke my heart
(still) though you're far apart (I love you still)
Still - Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby's 'Still' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery in the easy-listening and vocal jazz genres. Recorded during the golden age of radio and early television, the track showcases Crosby's signature warm, intimate delivery that defined the crooner's persona. As a solo artist, he frequently collaborated with session musicians to create polished recordings that emphasized emotional nuance over complex arrangements. The song reflects the era's preference for smooth, melodic standards that resonated with a broad audience seeking comfort and nostalgia. Its enduring appeal lies in Crosby's ability to convey deep sentiment through subtle vocal inflections, making it a staple in collections of his best-known works.
