What Are you Doing the Rest of Your Life?
(Michel Legrand / Marilyn Bergman / Alan Bergman)
What are you doing the rest of your life
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
Are the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of gold and forests of the night
And when you stand
Before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear
The silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In a world of love you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all my life with you
In 1969, God smiled upon Alan and Marilyn the day they put pen to paper and wrote down those words. And after all of these years - I still wait and hope for that one special person I can sing those hauntingly beautiful words to....
Hi, i met a woman about 14 years ago that was in her late 60s and early 70s that had just met that person. Her story shifted me somehow, and i believed differently. If you believe in your heart of hearts its there for you too. It will happen. Act as if and prepare for the arrival. I did things to improve myself and get better at loving myself and someone different showed up. 12 years ago we met. We still talk about how the other was delivered by God. I have a relationship i never could have imagined. You can too.
Who is listening to this music in this day and age and loving the fact that you can understand EVERY word?
I am for sure...consider I'm Italian...
Me 😻
Yes. I'm an Old School Romantic!
I am. I'd describe her style of voice as the more "intimate" style. (And her careful diction, of course, is definitely important too.) When I do get a chance to sing, I prefer this style too. But others may comment that it lacks "projections." I don't care. Consonants don't project very well. And I'd rather forego projection in favor of a nice, understandable voice. And it (the type of voice) works great in a recording studio.
I am!❤
These must be the most beautiful words ever written for a song. Add them to Michel LeGrand’s melody and that’s got to be perfection.
If only we could all be touched in the same by this kind of music, the world would be a peaceful place.
That is a beautiful thought.
I live quietly, and quite often alone. When Stacey's soft voice and perfect pitch plays, I'm never lacking for company. Michel Legrand's music (with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Berman) move me in ways I can feel, yet find impossible to express. Thank you.
Check Tierney Sutton also try the Peacocks or You Must Believe in Spring.
Beautiful comment. I am right there with you. Her voice is like smokey velvet- perfection.
My wife has dementia and doesn't speak, so we are together but silently,
I often think of the rest of my life when she goes home. Maybe I'll go first. We've been married for 62 years,it's hard to Imagine life alone. This song by Miss Kent resonates.
@@frankbarcelona2118So sorry, Frank 😢🤗
She sings like perfection! Thank you Stacey! I get goose bumps every time I hear you sing this song!
Pure , controlled voice, What a pleasure to listen to .
Stunning!! Like it's just the two of us, and she's singing to only me
Love her material.
Stacy "kent" and does not disappoint. Beautiful voice, smooth style, can understand every word voiced. Her husband on the tenor sax is the perfect complement.
Very intimate yet very simple and pure interpretation， just like the girl next door telling the story！
c'est magnifique.....
Here in 2022 and I absolutely LOVE this BEAUTIFUL song!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼
I'm brazilian and love Stacey interpreting our tunes. But Stacey and Jim performing Michel Legrand, is just.....WOW!!
My favorite singer. I was so lucky to watch her singing hier in Rio with many amazing bossa nova artists. Unforgettable
Quelle magnifique interprétation ! Comme une sensation de temps suspendu...
Damn it,s good to listen to someone you can understand every word.Outstanding interpretation
Your voice just eases my mind….sends me to a peaceful happy place ❤️
She has the most crystal clear voice. You hear every word.

Healed, thank you! it's lovely
Such a beautiful voice singing amazing lyrics.
Truly an amazing performer with a crystal voice. This is also one of the most perfect recordings technically ever made of a voacalist. Jim Tomlinson is a master saxophonist...love the reed clap on his solo toward the end. Love you guys.

This is so amazing, How crystal clear voice she has!
What a wonderful voice you have, Stacey!!
superb song and lirycs
Beautiful voice and what a song with such powerful meaning!
totaly not mixed 😍 and i love it
Amazing wonderful voice and great sax solo I think Michel Le Grande wrote the song. Best version I've ever heard.
Legrand wrote the melody, which is one of his most beautiful. The lyrics were written by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman. One of my all time favorite ballads.
warnerbeachful I agree....
Listen to Karin Krog do this song. This one is good, but Karin's is still my favourite : ua-cam.com/video/jt2aJXwVe5A/v-deo.html .
Best version? Nah. Go listen to Alison Moyet's version.
Magnifique Stacey ❤❤❤bravoooooooooooooo, moderne, subtil, adorable votre voix ❤❤😊😊
An absolutely fantastic performer! See her live if you can!
I fell in love with this song because it's Stacey sings it with her soft beautiful voice and of course with her husband and their band plays it so great.
I have and was blown away, it was just wonderful I was captivated
In my next life, I am coming back as a lounge lizard so I can listen to this kind of music. Sparkly notes. Warmth. Precision.
Breathtaking!!!! I've got goosebumps the size of Texas!
Es una obra maestra, Stocey tiene una voz deliciosa y una medida de los tiempos exquisitos. Serena el espíritu esta música. Gracias
She is the absolute best!
you really are the best, I am one of a zillion drummers ( now I just play at home..) all the best and thanks for the 'like"
Delicacy with an admixture of reflection
That was very nice
Love the clear magical voice and the wonderful and delicate pianist
Wonderful feeling !! Love that song !
Une voix douce comme elle et quelle diction (même en français). Avec Mélody Gardot, une de mes chanteuses de jazz préférées....

Touches the soul....
Beautiful ...
Very nice
These lyris just slay me, and Stacey Kent delivers so sweetly and makes it so believeable.
Have been listening to her for several years - her voice still slays me....
It is a haunting, bittersweet song with some great rhyming. And so well done here!
The words are hopeful, but the melody makes you think things might not turn out well. Truly one of the great songs out of the 60s.
Those lyrics written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman and with the music written by Michel Legrand for the 1969 film The Happy Ending.
Beautiful xxx
A perfect mix. Lyric, Piano, Sax, Voice, Feelings and ...Love. Great choice.
