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

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.

With A Song In My Heart 1929 Vs2
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Lorenz Hart

The appearance of film star Glenn Hunter in the 1929 American
musical "Spring Is Here" presented a problem: he could not sing.
So Rodgers and Hart gave "With A Song In My Heart" to his
more vocally gifted rival, John Hundley. Almost 20 years later,
the BBC adopted the song as the theme tune for Family
Favourites when the record request program was launched on the
air in 1948.
