To my ear, Krall's voice always sounds so COLD-without GENUINE feeling in the delivery-and her vocal range is so LIMITED that it amazes me how many folks think she is a great singer. This is an AMAZING song, and if you want to hear a GREAT singer perform it the way it was meant to be heard then listen to Lanie Kazan or Bobby Darin sing it, not Krall.
This song takes me back to a time in my life, so surreal. filled with reckless excitement, laughter and tears. It has been near ten years and I still choose to believe that even if for the briefest of moments I saw a reflection of love for me in his eye. Like a match, it burned fast, bright and then was gone. I've learned to accept that moment as neither a blessing nor regret; rather, it simply was a moment shared.
The strings section is so beautiful, so magical. The music is soft and her voice gives the perfect melody. It could be sung so beautiful by another divas like Linda Ronstadt, Ella, Sarah, Julie London, Nancy Wilson, ...but Diana put the same sensation of magic...of an unbelievable romance.........thank you.
The chord substitutions that she does are amazing! I'm thinking here, in particular, of her rendition of Lerner and loews "I've grown accustomed to his face". Ty Ty for the post:)
Thank you for posting this. One of THE most beautiful romantic songs EVER!! Since I was a girl and I saw Rex Harrison sing it to Sophie the seal I have loved it!
One of the best songs of it's type ever. And Krall's rendition may be better in some ways than Rex Harrison's, although the poignant part in the movie with the seal helps.
First heard this song on radio and loved Dians version so much..the song came from the movie Dr. Dolittle the old version with R. Harrison. She makes this song sound so meaningful Thank you Millifaria for posting this!!!
this is a woman?

This is one of my favorite love songs, but I have to say, the best version is from Andy Williams in the 60's.
