will you still be mine

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

when glamour girls have lost their charms

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
