EVERGREEN (Love Theme from "A Star Is Born")Barbra Streisandwritten by Paul Williams and Barbra Streisand

Love, soft as an easy chairLove, fresh as the morning airOne love that is shared by twoI have found with youLike a rose under the April snowI was always certain love would growLove, ageless and evergreenSeldom seen by twoYou and I willmake each night the firstEveryday a beginningSpirits rise and their dance is unrehearsedThey warm and excite us'Cause we have the brightest loveTwo lights that shine as one Morning glory and midnight sunTime, we've learned to sail aboveTime, won't change the meaning of one loveAgeless and ever evergreen
