A collection of rather sad Judy Garland pictures and clips to the song 'Danny Boy' (sung in 1955, when she was 33.) I read in one of her biographies that her Dad used to sing this song to her when she was a little girl back in Grand Rapids.
The clips are from movies such as Babes on Broadway, Love Finds Andy Hardy, A Star Is Born, Girl Crazy, Meet Me In St Louis and Easter Parade.

"Roses are dying" is a metaphor!
The English cemeteries of old, were in church yards, and for some reason the roses were always in bloom there. There was an old saying that the dead were growing the flowers and that they will never die.

@franklindavid No, it should always be 'roses falling' in the first verse. The rhyme scheme suggests 'falling', not 'dying,' regardless of how it might be sung elsewhere. Ref. 'the pipes are calling' for the rhyme.

My mother didn't sing professionally, but had a really good voice. Judy Garland was her favorite by far. If her rendition of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", sung on "The Judy Garland Show" in '63 (following the assination of J.F.K.) doesn't make the hair on your arms stand up, nothing will. She was peddle to the metal at all times, not one note ever came out weak.

@franklinajohnson Actually I think she does over sing it here...a little too 'drenched', as was her style as she got older and her health deteriorated. She did a much better version, much more touching, in the 1940 film "Little Nellie Kelly". I do agree however that she was the greatest singer and all around entertainer...

A wonderful gift from above. She was taken to sing in the choir of angels. May she rest in peace.

@franklindavid A verse of the song was cut. I think the "flowers are dying" words from the verse that was cut were moved forward and replaced the "roses are falling" words, but I'm not sure. Someone who knows the song better would need to comment. Or I suppose someone could do an Internet search on the complete lyrics to the song.

Roses are falling? No Judy it's "Flowers are Dying"
I forgive you Judy, you have a lovely voice.

No one, and I mean no one could sing a song like Judy. Ever fiber of the song was drenched in emotion and meaning-just perfect. She doesn't over sing it but gives it power, she was and will forever be the greatest singer to ever live. Long live Judy Garland!
