See Your Face Before Me - Carmen McRae, Ernie Wilkins

In a world of glitter and glow

In a world of tinsel and show

The unreal from the real thing is hard to know

I discovered somebody who

Could be truly worthy and true

Yes, I met my ideal thing when I met you

I see your face before me Crowding my every dream

There is your face before me You are my only theme

It doesn’t matter where you are

I can see how fair you are

I close my eyes and there you are

Always

If you could share the magic

Yes, if you could see me too

There would be nothing tragic

In all my dreams of you

Would that my love could haunt you so Knowing I want you so I can’t erase your beautiful face before me
