Ev'rything's Been Done Before 1935

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 18 Jun 2002

There is nothing new
beneath the sun, my dear,
nothing new to do or say.
Ev'rything I think of has been done, my dear,
always in the same old way.

Ev'rything's been done before,
to share a kiss, a moment's bliss,
and hear you whisper you love me,
sweetheart it thrills,
it's old as the hills,
but it's new to me.
Ev'rything's been done before,
the birds that sing a song of spring
were always singing above me,
and yet with you,
their singing is something that's new to me.
Life is strange
we hate to change from what is tried and true,
tho' I know I'm only doing what the others do,
still it all seems new.
Ev'rything's been done before,
to fall in love with stars above
began with Adam and Eve
so when I'm with you
I just want to do what's been done before.

Ev'rything's been done before,
to share a kiss, a moment's bliss,
and hear you whisper you love me,
sweetheart it thrills,
it's old as the hills,
but it's new to me.
Ev'rything's been done before,
the birds that sing a song of spring
were always singing above me,
and yet with you,
their singing is something that's new to me.
Life is strange
we hate to change from what is tried and true,
tho' I know I'm only doing what the others do,
still it all seems new.
Ev'rything's been done before,
to fall in love with stars above
began with Adam and Eve
so when I'm with you
I just want to do what's been done before.
