A Needle In A Haystack 1934 Fred Astaire

It was a case of
love at first sight
the sparkle in your eyes
the splendour of the night,
It was a case of
love at first sight, I know.
Life was so gay
and then, like the dawn,
One moment you were here
and then I found you gone.
Although I've lost you
we'll meet again, I know.

It's just like lookin' for
a needle in a haystack
searchin' for a moonbeam in the blue,
still, I've got to find you!
It's just like lookin' for
a raindrop in the ocean
searchn' for a dewdrop in the dew,
still, I've got to find you!
I haunt the place where we used to meet
Look at each face
I pass in the street.
Sometimes I hear
the beat of your feet
but it's just imagination!
Though it's like lookin' for
a needle in a haystack
still, I'll follow ev'ry little clue
for I've got to find you!

It's just like lookin' for
a needle in a haystack
searchin' for a moonbeam in the blue,
still, I've got to find you!
It's just like lookin' for
a raindrop in the ocean
searchn' for a dewdrop in the dew,
still, I've got to find you!
I haunt the place where we used to meet
Look at each face
I pass in the street.
Sometimes I hear
the beat of your feet
but it's just imagination!
Though it's like lookin' for
a needle in a haystack
still, I'll follow ev'ry little clue
for I've got to find you!
