Always

Artist: The McGuire Sisters

Album: The Anthology

Song Length: 2:39

George's Thoughts: Irving Berlin's original is really a Quickstep piece and sometimes paced for Slow Foxtrot, but when slowed down and changed to 3/4 time as has been done here it works very well as a Waltz. The McGuire Sisters recent release "The Anthology" has outstanding audio fidelity and features 50 songs, several of them excellent for dancing. A version of Always by the 101 Strings Orchestra is available on Madacy's compilation "Strictly Slow Waltz," and one by the Arthur Murray Orchestra with rather weak vocals is available on "More Fabulous Ballroom."

Song Lyrics:

I can't give you stars that shine
Or the moon above
All I have to offer you
Is True, True Love

A True, True Love
That grows and grows
Forever and a day
Not like the rose
That only grows
Awhile, then fades away...

Tomorrows True, True Love will be
More than it is today.

Tomorrows True, True Love will be
More than it is today.
