That's a good idea Terence, that's if Robert's not watching Alma,
or even Ellie :)

Well, I am watching neither Alma or Ellie, so I am going ahead with this one, which is one of my favourite intros--I am not sure if it has been used before, but I do not think so.

I'm discontented with homes that are rented so I have invented my own.
Darling this place is a lover's oasis where life's weary chase is unknown.
Far from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty caress the streams,
Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in. Don't let it abide in my dreams

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
even more than I usually do

And although I know it's a long road back,
I promise you.........

Terence, it certainly is nice to keep meeting you on the forum.

This song is one of our favourites at Christmas time.

" I'll be home for Christmas"

Here's another verse.

When the mellow moon begins to beam.
Every night I dream a little dream.
And of course Prince charming is the theme.
The he for me.
Although I realise as well as you.
It is seldom that a dream comes true.
To me it's clear that he'll appear.

Hi Lena

Harry is of course the man you love.

Matt Monro is THE MAN I LOVE for his wonderful voice.

This old world was just as sad a place for me as could be
I was lonely and blue

This old world then changed to paradise for me suddenly
Why?
Because I met you

Although wealth and power I may never find
Still as long as I have you dear I won't mind

Could we have a clue Terence? I'm anxious to get one correct as I have some opening lyrics to Christmas songs to supply.

Hi Paul

The more I see you , the more you remind me of George Clooney the actor.
Anyway, that's not a clue.

The music was composed by Fred E. Ahlert and Roy Turk supplied the lyrics.
Dame Shirley Bassey recorded it in the early 60s on one of her early EMI albums when her voice was still too sharp and shrill for my liking.
