I HEAR A CALL TO ARMS
From the film "Swing High, Swing Low" (1937)
(Sam Coslow / Al Siegel)

Carole Lombard (Film Soundtrack) - 1937
Dorothy Lamour - 1937


When you blow that horn you thrill me
To the marrow of my bones you chill me
There it goes, I hear a call to arms
La-de-da-de-da
Oh the bliss each note expresses
Reaching out to me like soft caresses
There it goes, I hear a call to arms

And even though you go
And this romantic glow may fade
One dream you'll never sever
`cos when you're gone
I'll hear your serenade
Echoing in my heart forever

Blow it, slow and low and tender
Let my soul respond in sweet surrender
There it goes, I hear a call to arms

(Orchestral Interlude)

And even though you go
And this romantic glow may fade
One dream you'll never sever
`cos when you're gone
I'll hear your serenade
Echoing in my heart forever

Blow it, slow and low and tender
Let my soul respond in sweet surrender
There it goes, I hear a call to arms
