Excerpted from Pink Martini's virtual 2020 New Year's Eve concert, filmed at Pink Martini World Headquarters in Portland, Oregon, and broadcast on December 31, 2020. "And Then You're Gone" is a popular original song for Pink Martini, first heard, sung by China Forbes, on the band's fourth studio album, Splendor in the Grass. In recent years it has become a staple in Storm Large's performances with the band. Co-written by Thomas Lauderdale and Splendor in the Grass producer Alex Marashian, with China Forbes and Derek Rieth, the music was inspired by the first movement of Franz Schubert's lovely Fantasie in F minor for Four Hands D940, from which pianist Thomas Lauderdale plays an excerpt in the opening. This video was shot during the COVID era and Storm Large was patched in from her home. The performance also features Nicholas Crosa on violin, Gavin Bondy on trumpet, and Robert Taylor on trombone.


LYRICS:
My dear Lorenzo
You take my hand
And understand
The tears that I have cried

We light the candles
And pour the wine
And laugh as if you’ll never leave my side

You take me
In your arms and tell me
That I’ll always be the only one –
And then you’re gone!

You come to see me
On a Saturday
Presenting peonies
Knowing just what to say

We dance until
The break of dawn
I turn my back
And then you’re gone

I’m swirling in a sea of stars
Twirling to the strum of guitars
No one tangos quite the way you do
But now my dancing days with you are through

You think I miss you
Each time you disappear
Maybe I used to
But it’s becoming clear

I know your tricks
I’ve heard your song
You swear your love
And then you’re gone

Remember last time
It was a perfect day
You took me sailing
And then you sailed away

Now here you are
Outside my door
You want back in
Just like before

Well save your breath
Don’t make me yawn
You’ve had your chance
Now just be gone
