Solved: "I hear music when ..."

[jfcaffrey]

Hello All.

There's tune from a musical (I believe) going through my head that starts with, "I hear music when I call your name ..." Other snippets from the song are, "... a lovely rhapsody from love's enchanted ..." and "... I hear music when I kiss your lips ..."

It's possible that it's from a pop ballad sung by Sinatra in the 40's - but perhaps originating from an earlier show or movie.

I would love to find the entire lyrics - and learn the composer's and lyricist's names. Any help you can give here would be much appreciated.

Cheers, J

I think you're looking for the song, "The Song Is You" [Writers: Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein II] from Frank Sinatra's "Come Dance With Me" album (1959).

I hear music when I look at you;
A beautiful theme of ev'ry
Dream I ever knew.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.

I hear music when I touch your hand;
A beautiful melody
From some enchanted land.
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say,
Is this the day?

I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain:
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't I let it go,
Why can't I let you know,
Why can't I let you know the song
My heart would sing?

That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true
The song is you.
