Though I know that we meet every night
And we couldn't have changed since the last time
To my joy and delight
It's a new kind of love at first sight
Though it's you and it's I all the time
Every meetings' a marvellous pastime
You're increasingly sweet
So wherever we happen to meet
I greet you....

With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace
When the music swells
I'm touching your hand
It tells me you're standing near .... and

At the sound of your voice
Heaven opens its portals to me
Can I help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be
But I always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you

Oh, the moon's not a moon for a night
And these stars will not twinkle and fade out
And the words in my ears
Will resound for the rest of my years
In the morning I find with delight
Not a note of our music is played out
It will be just as sweet
And an air that I'll live to repeat
I greet you....

With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace
When the music swells
I'm touching your hand
It tells that you're standing near .... and

At the sound of your voice
Heaven opens its portals to me
Can I help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be
But I always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you

As recorded by JANE FROMAN and RICHARD ALLEN
for the 1952 film "With A Song In My Heart":


JF:
Where are you? Where are you?

RA:
Night and a million stars are falling
From another world I hear you calling (JF: Calling)

RA:
Though I know that we meet every night
And we couldn't have changed since the last time
To my joy and delight
It's a new kind of love at first sight
JF:
Though it's you and it's I all the time
Every meeting's a marvellous pastime
BOTH:
You're increasingly sweet
So whenever we happen to meet
JF:
I greet you....

JF: With a song in my heart
RA: I behold your adorable face
JF: Just a song at the start
RA: But it soon is a hymn to your grace
JF:
When the music swells
I'm touching your hand
It tells me you're standing near .... and

JF: At the sound of your voice
BOTH: Heaven opens its portals to me
JF: Can I help but rejoice
BOTH: That a song such as ours came to be
JF:
But I always knew
I would live life through
BOTH:
With a song in my heart for you

(Dance Routine)

JF: At the sound of your voice
RA: At the sound of your voice
JF:
Heaven opens its portals to me
Can I help but rejoice
RA: Can I help but rejoice
JF: That a song such as ours came to be
JF:
But I always knew
I would live life through
BOTH:
With a song in my heart for you
