No lyrics? No singing? Aw shucks, this song is simply and elegantly touching when Berlin's words go with the melody.

This is a "Classic Irving Berlin Video", because it features "Classic Beauty" from the 1920's "Flapper Period". Berlin's "Simple Melody" reflects the "Simplicity" of that bygone-era when Women were "Naturally Beautiful" (no tattoos, nose-rings, spikes, clownish-makeup, etc.) who only relied on the Adornments "Given them by God"! They didn't need to appear anorexic or "Twiggy-Like" to be a Glamorous "Actress" or "Fashion Model"... they had Real "meat on their bones" & Feminine "longflowing hair"!

@sashamarie711 My goodness, you don' think they had sex scandals in the 1920's? I was a history major and I am in love with the 20's and 30's, but not because they were perfect. It's always the same throughout history---there are people who do unspeakable things, people who do wonderful things, and variations in between.

That is the best picture of Anna May Wong that I have ever seen, absolutely stunning....

@hre2stay You're right, I'm sure. The world has always been full of both bad and good, and I really can't say why I think that. IDK, I just FEEL that way, I guess. Whether it's true or not.

Wake up. You think there was no crime and everything was hunky dory in these times? rEAD THIS and discover that times were not as rosy as you think. look up Albert Fish and Carl Panzram. Evil and sin has always pervaded society and always will. For example why do you think being on the game is the oldest profession in the world? @sashamarie711

@Anj2085 i feel EXACTLY the way u do... I'd give anything to either be dead by now (lol) or a suuuuper old ass lady now....to have lived in this century. Everything seems so much more simple and kind....definitely the wrong era..sex, scandals....bllleeeckghh
