It seems we stood and talked like this, before,
We looked at each other in the same way then,
But I can't remember where or when.

The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore,
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then,
But I can't remember where or when.

Some things that happened for the first time,
Seem to be happening again.

And so it seems that we have met before,
And that we laughed before, also loved before,
But who knows where or when.

From Irving Berlin's 1942 movie "Holiday Inn" - The cast included: Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, and Marjorie Reynolds ... The song was written and composed by Irving Berlin, the son of Jewish immigrants - Suprisingly, he wrote hundreds of songs, but he couldn't read a note of music. Note that "White Christmas" is widely regarded as the best selling single record of all time. Its success inspired the movie "White Christmas," which starred Bing Crosby, and Danny Kaye. Other songs listed here by Irv Berlin are:

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen,
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.

Without a song, the day would never end,
Without a song, the road would never have been,
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend,
Without a song.

That field of corn, would never see a plow,
That field of corn, would be deserted now,
A man is born, but he's no good no how,
Without a song.

I've got my trouble and woe, but sure as I know,
The Jordan will roll,
I'll get along, as long as a song,
Is strung in my soul.

I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know, what makes the grass so tall,
I only know, there ain't no love at all,
Without a song.

All I want is a room somewhere,
Far away from the cold night air,
With one enormous chair,
Oh, wouldn't it be lovely.

Lots of chocolate for me to eat,
Lots of coal makin' lots of heat,
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet,
Oh, wouldn't it be lovely.

Oh so lovely sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still,
I would never budge till Spring crept over the window sill.

Someone's head restin' on my knee,
Warm and tender as she can be,
Who takes good care of me,
Oh, wouldn't it be lovely,
Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely.

Yes sir, that's that's my baby,
No sir, I don't mean maybe,
Yes sir, that's my baby now.

Yes, ma'm, we've decided,
No ma'm, we ain't gonna hide it ,
Yes, ma'm, you're invited now.

By the way, by the way,
When we walk up to the preacher I'll say.

Yes sir, that's my baby,
No sir, I don't mean maybe,
Yes sir, that's my baby now.

By the way, by the way,
When we run into the preacher I'll say.

I'll say yes sir, that's my baby,
No sir, I don't mean maybe,
Yes sir, that's my baby now.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go, I don't know,
She wouldn't say,
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she had to go, I don't know,
She wouldn't say,
.I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
.Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

You'd be so nice to come home to,
You'd be so nice by the fire,
While the breeze, on high, sang a lullaby,
You'd be all that I could desire.

Under stars, chilled by the winter,
Under an August moon, burning above,
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise,
To come home to and love.

You'll never know just how much I love you,
You'll never know just how much I care,
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you,
You ought to know for haven't I told you so,
A million or more times.

I see your face and my heart goes to you,
I speak your name in my every prayer,
If there is some other way to prove that I love you,
I swear I don't know how,
You'll never know if you don't know now.

You'll never know just how much I miss you,
You'll never know just how much I care,
You said good-bye, no stars in the sky refuse to shine,
Take it from me, it's no fun to be alone,
With moonlight and memories.

(Repeat second stanza.)

I touch your hands and my heart goes strong,
Like a pair of birds that burst with song,
My eyes look down at your lovely face,
and I hold a world in my embrace,
Younger than springtime, are you.

Softer than starlight, are you,
Warmer than winds of June, are the gentle lips you gave me.

Gayer than laughter, are you,
Sweeter than music, are you,
Angel and lover, Heaven and Earth, are you to me.

And when your youth and joy invade my arms,
And fill my heart as now they do.

Then younger than springtime, am I,
Gayer than laughter, am I,
Angel and lover, Heaven and Earth, am I with you...,

And when your youth and joy invade my arms,
And fill my heart as now they do,
Then younger than springtime, am I,
Gayer than laughter, am I,
Angel and lover, Heaven and Earth, am I with you.

You've got to be taught to hate and fear,
You've got to be taught from ear to ear,
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear,
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught to be afraid,
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a different shade,
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught.
