"Serenade in Blue" — Warren and Gordon's 1942 wartime romance.
When I hear that serenade in blue
Im somewhere in another world, alone with you
Sharing all the joys we used to know, many moons ago.
Once again your face comes back to me
Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
In the album of my memory, serenade in blue
It seems like only yesterday, the small cafe, a crowded floor
And as we danced the night away, I hear you say forever more
And then the song became a sigh
Forever more became goodbye
Cause you remained in my heart, but
Tell me darling in there still a spark?
Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
Should I go on whistling in the dark, serenade in blue.
Знаете ли вы, что...
- Written by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon for the 1942 film Orchestra Wives. The blue serenade — both the colour and the mood, the music that carries the memory. Wartime material when Sinatra was at Columbia, building the sound of the era.
