IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF LOVE?

from 1953 film "Melba"
(Mischa Spoliansky (m) Norman Newell (l) 1953)

Patrice Munsel
with Henri Rene & his Orchestra
(film soundtrack)


Each day was just an ordinary day
That went upon its ordinary way.
The stars were only stars to me,
They always seemed too far from me,
But now they parade
Like a gay cavalcade above!

The moon was just a lantern in the sky,
I never really knew the reason why,
But now I know how love can bring
A new approach to everything,
For my heart is singing,
Is this the beginning of love?

(scat)

The moon was just a lantern in the sky,
I never really knew the reason why,
But now I know how love can bring
A new approach to everything,
For my heart is singing,
Is this the beginning of love, sweet love?
