The lullaby OF BROADWAY of 1935? Wow, the milk man is on his way. Great song and dance routine!

Vera Lynn - Again

 

[MaryL]

I am told that the movie Broadway Melody of 1936 was bad even in 1936 (I never saw it, have you?), But I love the song, the milk man is on his way...Perhaps we should steer this thread in different direction. Bad musicals with great songs? I love that song Hard knock life...from little orphan annie. '
We LOVE you miss Hannigan!

and then ....

the beautiful version from Nat King Cole.....

it brings back all the past....in such a wonderful way! he was amazing! he belongs in our past....in our childhood.......thank you Nat King Cole! bless!

this is new - 1960 is the year.... but very lovely nevertheless....such a typical sound of the era...love


Frank Wess - Star Eyes

 

[Ria_Longhorn]

You look at me and wonder, you look at me and doubt, darling your eyes are asking, "will the flame burn out?" Well, no one is sure of sun shine, no one is sure of dawn, but I am sure my love will live on and on.
I'll be tired of you when stars are tired of gleaming, when I am tired of dreaming, then I'll be tired of you. This I know is true, when winds are tired of blowing, when grass is tired of growing, then I'll be tired of you. Beyond the years, 'til day is night, 'til wrong is right,'til birds refuse to sing, beyond the years, the echo of my only love
will still be whispering, whispering. And if my throbbing heart should ever start repeating that it is tired of beating, then I'll be tired of you.

Music by Arthur Schwartz, lyrics by E.Y. Harburg (Isidore Hochberg, who also wrote, "Over the Rainbow").

What a beautiful song, of many in your thread. My favorite. Thanks for sharing.
