Alfie (Live 2000)

[Intro] One day a number of years ago I was in A cab, right, on my way to a recording session And the radio was on And I heard this girl singing, and I thought "What a pretty song, why haven't I recorded that?" This is true So when I arrived at the studio I called the station, right? To find out who the girl was And they said it was me They said "Barbra Streisand" I think they even said it right But I thought, "Isn't that funny?" Because I guess I'd recorded, you know So many albums and songs by that time That I actually forgot that I sang that song So I would like to sing it for you tonight It's one of the most beautiful move themes Ever written by my friend, Burt Bacharach [Verse 1] What's it all about, Alfie? Is it just for thе moment we live? What's it all about whеn you sort it out, Alfie? Are we meant to take more than we give? Or are we meant to be kind? [Verse 2] And if only fools are kind, Alfie Then I guess it is wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie What will you lend on an old golden rule? [Bridge] As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie I know there's something much more Something even non-believers can believe in [Verse 3] I believe in love, Alfie Without true love we just exist, Alfie Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie When you walk let your heart lead the way And you'll find love any day, Alfie Alfie Alfie [Outro] Such a pretty song, isn't it?
