It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', «Dear one, hold me fast»
And I keep on prayin', «Oh Lord, please let this last»
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there’s moonglow, way up in the blue
I’ll always remember, that moonglow gave me you
It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', «Sweet child, hold me fast»
And I keep on prayin', «Oh Lord, please let this last»
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there’s moonglow, way up in the blue
I’ll always remember, that moonglow gave me you
Говорят, что Billie имела множество недостатков... Но... давайте признаем и ее достоинства ). Мы сейчас и всегда были уверены в том, что она понимает джаз намного лучше всех остальных. Да, лучше всех понимает это музыкальное направление! А какой прекрасный аккомпанимент... Почти все идеально!
They say that Billie had many shortcomings ... But ... let's acknowledge her merits ). We now and always were sure that she understands jazz much better than everyone else. Yes, she understands this musical direction better than anyone else! And what a wonderful accompaniment ... Almost everything is perfect!
83 years after Moonglow was written, it still sounds fresh and alive. Heard it tonight by a singer obviously familiar with the Billie Holiday recording. Good stuff survives.
