"You Don't Bring Me Flowers" is a song that hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1978. It is a song about two lovers who have drifted apart while they "go through the motions" and heartache of life together. Its lyrics include what became somewhat of a "cult phrase": But 'used-to-bes' don't count anymore/They just lay on the floor 'till we sweep them away. The song was written by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman for the ill-fated TV show All That Glitters.[1] The song was intended to be a theme song, but Norman Lear changed the concept of the show so that the song no longer fitted.
