Additional quotes by Hal David

Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa,
Ah, only one day away from your arms;
I hate to do this to you but I love somebody new, what can I do?
And I can never, never, never … go home again.

Fame and fortune is a magnet.
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone.

And there you are without a friend

They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
To someone else but not for me.
The trains and boats and planes
Took you away, away from me.
