Music From Across the Way
Andy Williams
Written by Carl Sigman, Hans (James) Last, and Hans Bradtke
Peaked at #30 in the Adult Contemporary chart in 1972
Simultaneously a #18 on that chart (and #84 on the Pop chart) in January, 1972 for
German-born jazz pianist James Last.
Also recorded on LP's by Engelbert Humperdinck, Frank Sinatra, and Ray Conniff
as sung on his "Greatest Hits Vol. 2" LP
I shared the golden sun with her, in days that are no more
I used to love to run with her along the sandy shore
She had a special pray'r to help my world go right
Her hand was always there for me the coldest winter night
I hear the music from across the way
Across the bridges of my mind
I lift the misty shades of yesterday
To catch the dreams I left behind
It was a joy to be with her, to watch the way she smiled
I guess I just felt free with her, so free, so young, so wild
I really came to love that girl, how much she'll never know
I need the nearness of that girl, I really miss her so
I hear the music from across the way
Across the bridges of my mind
I lift the misty shades of yesterday
To catch the dreams I left behind
I hear the music from across the way
Across the bridges of my mind
