GIVE ME A SONG WITH A BEAUTIFUL MELODY

from "It's A Great Feeling" 1949 film
Jule Styne (m) Sammy Cahn (l) 1949

as recorded by Helen Forrest 
with Earl Hagen & his Orchestra  
May 3rd 1949


Give me a song with a beautiful melody,
Play it with strings till it sings in my memory.
The simplest kind of a strain
Is bound to remain in your heart;
If it takes you way back to the past,
It's the kind of a song that will last!

And if the words to the tune
Seen to say what you're thinking of,
Just sing the words to the girl
And she'll fall in love!
And when you're holding her tight,
You'll find that I'm right as can be!
She'll be glad that you fell
To a beautiful melody!

If the words to the tune
Seen to say what you're thinking of,
Just sing the words to the girl
And she'll fall in love!
And when you're holding her tight,
You'll find that I'm right as can be!
She'll be glad that you fell
To a beautiful melody!
She'll be glad that you fell
To a beautiful melody!
