[Plácido Domingo]
Nothing lived, nothing grew till I loved you
Every sky ever gray, never blue
You were my friend, good friend
And often, I would wonder
Could the one to save me possibly be you?

[Dionne Warwick]
I was lost, I was blind till I loved you
Wouldn't see, couldn't find someone new, someone new
You were my friend, my dear friend
I held you close to my heart
But I never knew my soul could break in two

[Domingo and Warwick]
Until that certain moment when I loved you

[Plácido Domingo]
Not I ever entered my room
When my room was without you

[Dionne Warwick]
My love never came into bloom
'til each thought was about you

[Plácido Domingo] (Dionne Warwick is Adlibbing here)
Not a bird in the spring, 'til I loved you
Not a dream or a prayer could come true
Until that curtain lifted, parted, drifted from you
Until that certain moment when I loved you

[Plácido Domingo] (Warwick is, again, adlibbing)
Until that certain moment
Certain moment

[Domingo and Warwick]
When I loved you
When I loved you

[Plácido Domingo]
Nothing lived, nothing grew till I loved you

[Dionne Warwick]
Every sky ever gray, never blue

Plácido Domingo

Plácido Domingo (born 21 January 1941, Madrid, Spain) is a Spanish singer, conductor and opera administrator whose resonant and powerful tenor voice made him one of the most popular tenors of his time.

Domingo’s parents were noted performers in zarzuela, a form of Spanish light opera. The family moved to Mexico when he was eight. He studied piano and conducting at the National Conservatory of Music, but he changed the emphasis of his studies when his rich vocal ability was revealed. In 1961 he made his operatic debut in Mexico City and then went to Dallas to perform in its opera company. From 1962 to 1965 he was a resident performer at Tel Aviv’s Hebrew National Opera. He made his debut at the New York City Opera in 1965, at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City in 1968 (subsequently becoming a regular performer there) and at Milan’s La Scala in 1969.

With Luciano Pavarotti and José Carreras, he performed around the world as one of the “Three Tenors,” exposing millions of people to the operatic repertoire.
