Here We Are

Lyric: Gus Kahn
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1929
Original publisher: Remick Music Corp.

Verse 1:

I hate to think what might have been if we had never met,
Why should I suppose that this could be?
The weary days, the lonely nights, are easy to forget,
Since I am here and you are here with me.

Chorus:

Here we are, you and I,
Let the world hurry by.
Even while I waited,
Somehow, dear, I knew
You'd find me, I'd find you.
Here we are alone together,
What matter whether
We wandered far.
And though we haven't got a bankful,
We can still be thankful
That here we are.

Verse 2:

I waited long, I wander'd far, but said, "I'll find her yet,"
And love will make the waiting worth the while.
And I'm repaid for ev'ry little moment of regret,
The clouds have vanished since I saw your smile.

[Chorus]
