(Title: All The Things You Are)
(Music by Jerome Kern)
(Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II)
(1939)
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely
song.
You are the angel glow
That lights a star.
The dearest things I know
Are what you are.
One day my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When All The Things You Are are mine.
(I submit this beautiful jazz standard, usually recorded in instrumental
versions by almost everyone pre-fusion, in hopes that most jazz
standards will be submitted by others. Please feel free to email me with
corrections or suggestions at dgtalji@hotmail.com)
