Lyrics
Lights are bright,
Pianos makin' music all the night,
And they pour champagne
Just like it was rain;
It's a sight to see,
But I wonder what became of me!
Crowds pass by,
That merry makin' laughter in their eyes,
And the laughter's fine,
But I wonder what became of mine!
Life's sweet as honey,
And yet it's funny,
I get a feelin' that I can't analyse.
It's like, well maybe,
Like when a baby
Sees a bubble burst before his eyes.
Oh I've had my fling,
I've been around and seen most everything,
Yet I can't be gay,
For along the way
Something went astray.
And I can't explain,
It's the same champagne,
It's sad to see,
But I wonder what became of me!
Writer(s): Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen
