They met at a party
A wonderful gay affair
They looked at each other
And nobody else was there

When they said hello
It was more like a sigh
Even as you and I

The people who knew them
Predicted that it would be
The sweetest and greatest
Romance of the Century

They walked in a dream
As the days drifted by
Even as you and I

They told the tender night how true their love was
While up above was their lucky star
Now wouldn't it be wrong if they were parted
And brokenhearted well they are

When lovers are lonely
What good is their foolish pride
They ought to be happy
They ought to be side by side

And if there's a chance
Don't you think they should try
Even as you and I

O they told the tender night how true their love was
While up above was their lucky star
Now wouldn't it be wrong if they ever were parted
And brokenhearted well they are

When lovers are lonely
What good is their foolish pride
They ought to be happy
They ought to be side by side

And if there's a chance
Don't you think they should try (ooh)
Even as you (as you)
And I (Well side by side like you and I)
