מתוך While I am here Brighter than sunshine reflected on water The smile of the lady is gracious and warm Though she's a woman She laughs like a child at play And the lady is waiting At the end of my day Waits at the doorway and says that she loves me And wants me to tell her that I love her too If I have troubles I know she will wish them away And the lady is waiting At the end of my day Waiting to comfort me if I am weary Eases my mind Waiting to comfort me Ready to cheer me ever so gentle and kind And kind Sharing my secrets and wishing my wishes A whisper of summer is there in her smile Softly reflecting our love in the things that we say And the lady is waiting At the end of my day Waiting to comfort me if I am weary Eases my mind Waiting to comfort me Ready to cheer me ever so gentle and kind And kind Sharing my secrets and wishing my wishes A whisper of summer is there in her smile Softly reflecting our love in the things that we say And the lady is waiting At the end of my day And the lady is waiting At the end of my day The lady is waiting At the end of my day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Williams_(songwriter) Paul Hamilton Williams Jr.[2] (born September 19, 1940)[3][4] is an American composer, singer, songwriter and actor. He is known for writing and co-writing popular songs performed by a number of acts in the 1970s, including Three Dog Night's "An Old Fashioned Love Song" and "Out in the Country", Helen Reddy's "You and Me Against the World", David Bowie's "Fill Your Heart" and the Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun" and "Rainy Days and Mondays". Williams is also known for writing the score and lyrics for Bugsy Malone (1976) and his musical contributions to other films, including the Oscar-nominated song "Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie, and writing the lyrics to the #1 chart-topping song "Evergreen", the love theme from the Barbra Streisand film A Star Is Born, for which he won a Grammy for Song of the Year and an Academy Award for Best Original Song. He wrote the lyrics to the opening theme for the television show The Love Boat, with music previously composed by Charles Fox, which was originally sung by Jack Jones and, later, by Dionne Warwick.[5] Williams had a variety of high-profile acting roles, such as "Little Enos Burdette" in the action-comedy Smokey and the Bandit (1977) and the villainous Swan in Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise (1974),[6] which Williams also co-scored, receiving an Oscar nomination in the process.[7] Since 2009, Williams has been the president and chairman of the American songwriting society ASCAP.
