SO THIS IS LOVE (THE CINDERELLA WALTZ) 

(Al Hoffman / Mack David / Jerry Livingston (m & l) )

As sung by Ilene Woods and Mike Douglas in the 1950 film 

[Woods]
hmmmm, hmmmm

So this is love, hmmmm
So this is love
So this is what makes life divine.

I'm all aglow, hmmmm
And now I know {repeat Douglas...and now I know]
[Woods and Douglas]
The key to all heaven is mine.

[Woods]
My heart has wings, hmmmm
And I can fly
[Woods and Douglas]
I'll touch every star in the sky.

So this is the miracle
That I've been dreaming of
hmmmm, hmmmm
So this is love.

Notes:

Cinderella (in this case, a 1950 Walt Disney animation), 
is a widely known European folk tale. This Disney work 
was largely based on Charles Perrault's publication from 
1697. The fairy tale has such wide international appeal 
and is so beloved that it has been adapted in a plethora 
of formats in many cultures, film (silent and otherwise), 
opera, ballet, TV, Broadway, videos, talking books, the 
Internet and radio.
