I CAN GIVE YOU THE STARLIGHT
From the London musical "The Dancing Years" (1939)
(Ivor Novello / Christopher Hassall)
Mary Ellis (Stage Production) - 1939
Also recorded by:
Teddy Johnson & Pearl Carr; Marilyn Hill Smith; Byron Jones.
When I was young
My foolish fancies used to make a great mistake
But now a little love
A little living
Has changed my ways and taught me
And brought me
The joy of giving
I can give you the starlight
Love unchanging and true
I can give you the ocean
Deep and tender devotion
I can give you the mountains
Pools all shimmering and blue
Call and I shall be
All you ask of me
Music in spring
Flowers for a King
All these I bring to you
(Musical Break)
I can give you the mountains
Pools all shimmering and blue
Call and I shall be
All you ask of me
Music in spring
Flowers for a king
All these bring to you
