You and I, an unmatched pair
Took the time to touch, to share
Worlds apart the night we met
We braved the odds and won the bet
Not perfect yet but close enough for love
How old fashioned, pure romance
Shared a kiss and shared the dance
Shared the body and bouquet
We'll taste the wine another day
When you and I are close enough for love
Not just lovers, more than friends
Who knows where one starts, one ends
Tracing lives through sleepless nights
That I'll remember always, always
Long goodbyes and the tearful looks

Hold up well in poems and books
But you and I have life to hold
The greatest story never told
Not perfect yet but close enough for love
Not just lovers, more than friends
Who knows where one starts, one ends
Tracing lives through sleepless nights
That I'll remember always, always
Long goodbyes and the tearful looks
Hold up well in poems and books
But you and I have life to hold
The greatest story never told
Not perfect yet but close enough for love
Not perfect yet but close enough for love

This is "our song", the words are real and mean a lot, the tune is unforgetable once you have heard it 754 times !!!Tony Bennett does it like it should sound, but then he is wonderful as well.
