"Something to Remember You By" (Vera Lynn, 1941)

Wistful love song from the 1930 Schwartz/Dietz show "Three's a Crowd".

Vera Lynn with Jay Wilbur and his Band...London, 1941

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER YOU BY

Oh, give me something to remember you by, when you are far away from me.

Some little something meaning love cannot die, no matter where you chance to be.

Though I'll pray for you, night and day for you,

It will see me through like a charm till your returning.

So give me something to remember you by, when you are far away from me...

Thank you. She is such a blessing!

You're deeply welcome, friend...Vera may be the 20th Century's most under-rated singer.

Kindest regards,

-RR

Vera Lynn...How could you not be moved by her singing. She was a master of song> ! She sang from the heart..she sang her soul ..her true spirit and this is refreshing in today' s music market.

This is the tune Cary Grant whistles in Mr Lucky - at quite a different pace!

[tomrino11]

minor correction-on video it has the songwriter's first names mixed up-should be Arthur Schwartz/Howard Dietz - if I wrote such a wonderful song I'd want them to get my name right:)

Extraordinary. One more example of musical perfection, with grace and charm.

[HowDareThey1970]

Such a lovely voice.

For some reason, I am now unable to locate her version of Auf Wiederseh'n on You Tube. I hope someone else puts that one up again.

[Bossmanrocks]

She's truely lovely!!!

Vera lynn is not an underrated singer. She was popular at her time in the early forties during the Blitz.. I'm from the Philippines and I was born after World War II but ive acquired some of her songs in cassette tapes even 40 years after the war. This woman is an icon.

Vera was the top of the heap back in 1945 give or take either side. What is happening is, with Youtube now the lone exception, you cannot easily find Vera or many others from those days in performance anywhere and only by the grace of God and youtube, do we have here here. I'd like to offer personal thanks to whomever uploaded these vids.
