Well Written Songs: Something New In My Life

Something New In My Life
Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, Michael Legrand, 1984

I guess I wanted something new in my life
A new key to fit a new door
To wake and see a different view in my life
What I've been waiting for

Dreams like everyone I had a few in my life
Who knew that this one would come true in my life
I knew the moment when you touched me
You touched me

You're like a sudden breeze that blew in my life
A new face, a new smile, a new song
And now I know I wanted you in my life all along

You're like a chance I had to take in my life
I found you and couldn't lose you
And all the difference that you make in my life
The feelings I never knew

I guess I must have saved an empty place in my heart
For you to come and fill the space in my heart
That long before I said, I loved you
I loved you

Whatever happens this is true in my life
When all the springs have come and gone
Whatever doors I may go through in my life
Whatever else that I may do in my life

You'll always be the something new in my life
From now on
I know there always will be you in my life
From now on

Alan and Marilyn Bergamn have written some of the most amazing songs including Barbra Streisand's 'The Way We Were' and 'You Don't Bring Me Flowers'. This song has been performed by Johnny Mathis and also Barbra herself on her new album 'What Matters Most'.
