I don't believe it. I don't believe Charlie Chaplin, who was one of the world's great comics wrote this song.He was wealthy enough to hire anyone to write music for him and thats what he did. Now the question is who wrote it? Obviously someone who was well renowned,and prolific, but who was in need of fast cash and willing to sign away all rights for same.Alfred Newman comes to mind but there were many composers attracted to Hollywood at the time. I just don't believe old Charlie did it.

Chaplin wrote this song, and he composed the music for the most of his films(starting when soundfilms came) and the re-releases of his early films. This is from "Limelight" from 1952, his only dramatic film.

Also he composed "Smile", you can hear this in the ending scene of "Modern Times".

Short said, in most of his films he did everything: He composed the music, directed. produced, wrote the script and acting.

This music pice "Terrys Theme" is one of his most famous music pices.

Paal1994.

I saw Limelight at the theatre, in 1952, as a five year old, with my Mother. This song stuck in my memory for many years, and when i heard it again, it brought back a flood of pleasant memories, though I remember my mother crying in the theatre. A beautiful song, by a brilliant man, who gave the world so much fun and enjoyment.

Thanks Mr. Chaplin.

and thanks for posting this.

On my first actual date, in 1952, we went to see "Limelight.."

I was more focused on the girl than the movie, but I loved the music. Was surprised to find it here. Thanks for posting!

People of Chaplin's standard are very rare.

[Juliaflo]

Homage to Charles Spencer Chaplin. Where are the people of that standard today?

[nancyfloressantos]

Its vocal version is Eternally sung originally by Vic Damone...with a very nice version by Sarah Vaughan. Lovely melody that would be in my heart...........eternally.
