Hi.
Today a post inspired by a song that caught my attention.
(maybe in a strange way...)
I've always believed that Lurie's song from the OST
Stranger Than Paradise was somehow a humerous twist
on the jazz classic penned by Ned Washington/Victor Young.
-
I started this compilation with that song,
rest are all versions of this jazz standard.
-
(Once again - I must thank all the original bloggers,
without whom this constantly cosy, coincidental corny
cover-continuum couldn't continue co-exist)
-
LYRICS:
-
The song a robin sings
Through years of endless springs,
The murmur of a brook at e-ven-tide
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide.
A great symphonic theme,
That's stella by starlight and not a dream.
My heart and I agree
She's ev'ry - thing on earth to me.
A great symphonic theme,
That's stella by starlight and not a dream.
My heart and I agree
She's ev'ry - thing on earth to me.
She's ev'ry - thing
On earth to me.
