nice song, saw my ex with his new girlfriend today, still have feelings for him so it killed me to see him with her, got a bit choked up, tears nearly came :(
@patrickstarlover Well, it's not really about being happy so much as trying to be optimistic in the least of times. So I think it's fitting to cry here, haha.
This song was written by my grandmother. I have the original sheet music as proof. She sent the song to the local radio station, but she couldn't afford the copyright.
@flipysrevenge96 ok.......i believe you.....then you should go and claim a share of profits on behalf of your grandmother....!!! u wud probably get quite a lot of money if u can actually prove wht u r claiming.....
@flipysrevenge96 If you care so much for she getting credit for what she did...Why do not you write her name? Also, if this is real, contact important press, commenting in Youtube is not the best way to give the proper credit to your grandmother. Oh! And I do not believe you!
no2 of my "secret" favourites.it´s often not funny to smile.but if you smile while people waiting for that smile from you-do it like me! show them your mask-which ALWAYS is smiling.DON`T let them see your sorrow,that your wear inside your heart.hide your tears.and never ever tell them......only a tear is yours so near....
This was played at my nans funeral, makes me think of here every time i hear it, and what a great song to associate with the greatest lady in the world
well i can tell you that this song has touched my broken heart and has made me weep in joy... sometimes i wish the era we live in would still be the era of Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra etc etc etc
This song is so simple in melody and lyric, but yet it evokes such sentiment. It reminds me of a time long ago when composers would combine words and music in such a way as to really stir that genuine love your fellow man kind of emotion. When men would tip their hats to a lady, or conduct themselves gallantly. And, as deadlydemon666 pointed out, written by the great Charlie Chaplain. For a real treat, check Charlie excepting the lifetime achievement award at the Oscars, on YOUTUBE.
@Sethdrake1 He had a voice that was as soft as newborn's bottom. He was just amazing! And Natalie's is the other side of the coin sweet & loving. I have listened to him all my life.
Thanks for the upload. I always listen Nat King Cole, when I need to be away from reality and calm down. This song was exactly what I needed at the moment. Thanks a lot.
@6netfire True, BUT, only the music was written by him. The lyrics were written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons in 1954. The original music has no lyrics, as it was designed for a silent film.
@6netfire I'm sorry to tell you that but Chaplin didn't wrote the song, he composed the music, but the lyrics were written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons.
Charlie Chaplin knew how to write a song, damn it.
