I do not believe that"A Toujours" was written as a song intended to be included in GIGI, Alan. I think Loewe wrote the waltz as underscoring for the ice skating sequence, and Lerner then wrote a generic pop lyric to it in the hopes of having a song hit. I have never seen "A Toujours" included in any Lerner script for GIGI, film or stage, and there is no prerecord of the song for the film, while other cut prerecorded vocal music does exist (deleted sections of "The Parisians" and one of the iterations of "Gossip" at Maxim's).
In addition to using the melody of "A Toujours" in "The Contract," Lerner and Loewe also repurposed musical sections of "Katharine Receives Advice" in THE DAY BEFORE SPRING for it. |
