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 - Hudba
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.
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.
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.
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!!
Very intimate yet very simple and pure interpretation， just like the girl next door telling the story！
My favorite singer. I was so lucky to watch her singing hier in Rio with many amazing bossa nova artists. Unforgettable
She sings like perfection! Thank you Stacey! I get goose bumps every time I hear you sing this song!
Stunning!! Like it's just the two of us, and she's singing to only me
Love her material.
c'est magnifique.....
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.
I've heard just about all versions and this has to be the best.
What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn 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
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
All 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 the fields of dawn and the 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 the world of love that 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 of my life with you

Sing it, read it...the prayer. Music is both lyrics and notes and here you hav.e that perfect blending.
These lyrics cleanse the mind, warm the soul and kiss the heart.
A late reply: It takes a delicate soul to move the feelings of another sensitive soul. Thanks for the lyrics Bella.
Thanks for sharing Bella!
Your voice just eases my mind….sends me to a peaceful happy place ❤️

such a beautiful voice and interpretation of this song.... great piano
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.
Une voix douce comme elle et quelle diction (même en français). Avec Mélody Gardot, une de mes chanteuses de jazz préférées....
An absolutely fantastic performer! See her live if you can!
Wow. Revisiting the emotion and perfected musicality of Getz and Gilberto.... never thought we would hear a pair so beautifully complimenting each other again, but here it is!
First time listening to her. Have become an instant fan. Clear crystal voice. Just beautiful...
Same here..she is magically beautiful
I just "discovered" her too. Her voice is lovely.
Ana, you are in for hours of musical joy...........
This song, is so personal, especially in my latter years, her voice and those lyrics, they reach my soul, so well done . THANK YOU
What a wonderful voice you have, Stacey!!
superb song and lirycs
thank so much _____________________________
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 : czcams.com/video/jt2aJXwVe5A/video.html .
Best version? Nah. Go listen to Alison Moyet's version.
This is so amazing, How crystal clear voice she has!
Que bella música! Tan relajante, tan elegante..y tan bien interpretada!
A perfect singer (for me!) & absolute song to cherish! From -- Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦
She is not my number one but holy crap! She nailed this! I am wrong! WOW!!❤
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
Healed, thank you! it's lovely
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.

Maravillosa voz e interpretación. Gracias!!!!
When I was dating my wife, we used to go to this cool Jazz Bar in downtown Albany NY--The Gemini Jazz Cafe--back in 1979, and this song was a favorite of the group that played there. It became our Wedding Song. Great story until she left me 20 years ago....And now this song stings...But I still love it musically. And Stacey Kent knows how to deliver it!
thankfully,beautiful music surpasses the terrible tragedies of our lives...Stacey does it best...so unique.I am glad that you can still appreciate truly lovely music. My ex liked Sting and I can listen to him.
Thank you Elizabeth for your kind hearted reply. A lost love is better than no love at all.
it was just amazing!!!!!!
Wonderful!
Beautiful ...
