It Never Was You [From I Could Go on Singing]

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
