Wanting you (New Moon) Jeanette MacDonald Nelson Eddy 1940

Some photos and scenes from New Moon, directed by Robert Z. Leonard (1940), with Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy singing Wanting you, of Oscar Hammerstein II and Sigmund Romberg.

Wanting you (Sigmund Romberg and OscarHammerstein II) - Sorry, coudn't get the lyrics on Internet, but I hear more or less these words. I'm waiting for the corrections, of course.

Introduction:

My heat is aching for someone
And you are that someone
You know the truth of my story
You must believe what you see.

I, too, may someday love someone
From somewhere there'll come one
One who will hear the same story
That you're telling me.
________________________________

Wanting you,
Everyday I am wanting you
Every night I am longing to
Hold you close to my eager breast.

Wanting love
In that heaven I'm dreaming of
Makes that Heaven seem far above
Any hope that I'll gain my quest.

Dreams are vain
But I cling to the nearest
Chance that you may hear me
Dreams are vain
For whenever I wake
I never find you near me

Wanting you
Nothing else in the world will do
In this world you are all that I adore
All that I adore.

How great to again hear these wonderful melodies again and being sung by 2 very fabulous entertainers. So little do we see and hear such graciousness in the entertainment field.

@orcopian1 .... Jeanette MacDonald.. spell it right.. moron... that's how sopranos sounded back then because of the audio equipment used..I heard her sing live at one of her favorite venues, the Hollywood Bowl, and trust me, she wasn't shrill in the LEAST ! her voice was full of sweetness, color and vitality, NEVER shrill on one note! If she were shrill, she would have never been asked to sing at the MET, but, because of movie commitments, never got the chance.

@cbur555//// what?? Nelson Eddy was a high baritone and Mario Lanza was a dramatic tenor, they don't sound ANYTHING alike... listen closer to each voice, you'll find a great difference in tone, timber, vibrato and clarity.. Nelson Eddy used a lot of nasal tones and was flat on notes quite often.. Mario Lanzo's sound is bright and he hit every note in tune. b-t-w...it's not Eddie,it's EDDY, learn to spell while you're at it

I've been listening to the two of them sing this beautiful song since I was 19 (I'm now 51) and every time it gives me chills, it's so awesome! Just be listening to this, one can tell the two of them were very much in love with each other, it's evident in her sweet singing and his emotional outpouring.
