A New Game, Remember This Verse? Just Name The Refrain.

[mariana44]

I think this is "You've got me crying again"




The day I was born, said me father said he
I've got an elegant legacy waiting for me
It's a rhyme for your lips, it's a song for your heart
To sing it whenever the world falls apart

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Don't recall this one, but sounds as if there's a little bit of Irish there somewhere

[mariana44]

You are right there ---and it comes from a film musical with an Irish Connection.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Ah got it now. The hint helped. LOOK TO THE RAINBOW From Finians Rainbow.

Here's a short one...
ALL THE WHILE I'LL JUST BE YEARNING
LONESOME TOO.
COUNT THE DAYS TILL I'M RETURNING ' DEAR TO YOU.

[hpooch]

L & H, We need another hint on your entry, as I have a couple of song verses waiting in the wings........Henry

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Henry this song was recorded by Al Martino, also..Gene Autrey, Bing Crosby, Willie Nelson, Jim Reeves , Think of a flower (Two words)

[hpooch]

Is it "MEXICALI ROSE"?? Who sang this with the verse?... I have a few versions with no verse!

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Henry, we also have several versions of this song and the only singer we know to sing the verse is Vera Lynn.

[hpooch]

Here's one you should know, L & H

In old Savannah, I said, Savannah,
the weather there is nice and warm:
the climate's of the southern brand,
but here's what I don't understand:
they've got a gal there, a pretty gal there,
who's colder than an artic storm;
got a heart just like a stone,
even icemen leave her alone.......

[Lena & Harry Smith]

This must be "Hard Hearted Hannah " Henry.

Here;s another.

I oten used to wonder what the fuss was all about.
When it told me how exciting love would be.
And I used to smile politely though I hadn't any doubt
It was something that would never bother me.
And all the time this happened like a bolt from out the blue.
And it hit me and it knocked me nearly flat-- and that was that

[mariana44]

Is this "Love walked in"

[Lena & Harry Smith]

No it isn't Marian, but it's got Love in the title and you will no doubt know it. It's a Johnny Mathis number

[mariana44]

I know I recognise it--it is just not coming to me right now.

[hpooch]

Is it "I'M STONE IN LOVE WITH YOU"??.....but I never heard the verse sung!

[Lena & Harry Smith]

No that isn't the song Henry, but the refrain to this song begins with... Beat the drum, bang the gong, THERE YOU HAVE IT NOW.
