Ever since my heart took such a tumble

I've wondered if your love for me would last

When landmarks fall and institutions crumble

Will it be just a memory of the past

When lovers make no rendezvous

And stroll along Fifth Avenue

When this familiar world is through

Will you still be mine

When cabs don't drive around the park

No windows light the summer dark

When love has lost its secret spark

Will you still be mine

When moonlight on the Hudson's not romancy

And spring no longer turns a young man's fancy

And sirens just mean false alarms

When lovers heed no call to arms

Will you still be mine

When Elsa's parties are no fun

When FDR declines to run

When Eleanor of My Day is done

Will you still be mine

When Garbo gives out interviews

And Harlem folk forget the blues

When G Man Hoover's out of clues

Will you still be mine

A song of love will just remain a gay note

When we have finally paid our FHA note

When Barrymore first hides his face

And when Yehudi leaves a trace

When Crosby's horses win a race

Will you still be mine
