I Know Why 1941 'Sun Valley Serenade'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 23 Jun 2002

You possess a magic something
that has me spellbound when you are near,
just a certain charming something,
when you're beside me miracles appear,
for when I look at you,
life's a grand illusion.

Why do robins sing in December,
long before the springtime is due?
And even though it's snowing
violets are growing
I know why and so do you.
Why do breezes sigh ev'ry evening
whispering your name as they do?
And why have I the feeling
stars are on my ceiling?
I know why and so do you.
When you smile at me
I hear gypsy violins,
when you dance with me,
I'm in heaven when the music begins.
I can see the sun when it's raining,
hiding ev'ry cloud from my view,
and why do I see rainbows
when you're in my arms?
I know why and so do you.

Why do robins sing in December,
long before the springtime is due?
And even though it's snowing
violets are growing
I know why and so do you.
Why do breezes sigh ev'ry evening
whispering your name as they do?
And why have I the feeling
stars are on my ceiling?
I know why and so do you.
When you smile at me
I hear gypsy violins,
when you dance with me,
I'm in heaven when the music begins.
I can see the sun when it's raining,
hiding ev'ry cloud from my view,
and why do I see rainbows
when you're in my arms?
I know why and so do you.
