[Kenneth's Refrain:]
I hear singing and there's no one there
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on air
I wonder why
I wonder why
I keep tossing in my sleep at night
And what's more I've lost my appetite
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyes
I wonder why
[Sally's Refrain (in counterpoint):]
You don't need analyzing
It is not so surprising
That you feel very strange but nice
Your heart goes pitter patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there once or twice
Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rubdown with a velvet glove
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick
You're just in love
Irving Berlin, born Izrail' Moiseevic Bejlin (1888-1989), was one of the most influential American composers of the 20th century. Born in Temesvár, Romania, to a Jewish family, he moved to the United States at the age of five. He began his career as a singer and pianist in New York clubs, writing his first songs while working as a waiter. In 1911, he achieved his first success with "Alexander's Ragtime Band", which became a national anthem during World War I. Berlin composed hundreds of songs, including "White Christmas", "God Bless America" and "This Is a Lovely Day".
