"In An Eighteenth Century Drawing Room" and go to Wikipedia from there.
listen to the ''allegro'' version!!!
Music and Lyrics by Jack Lawrence and Raymond Scott:
I FOUND AN OLD MUSTY BOOK,
LONG
LOST
IN SOME FAR FORGOTTEN NOOK.
IN THE BOOK A FADED
PICTURE,
AND THE SCENT OF FAINT
PERFUME,
TWO OLD-FASHIONED LOVERS
IN AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
DRAWING ROOM. (hope to put a picture here of
my mini-grand, mom's pic...)
NOTHING IS EVER NEW,
EVER SINCE LOVE BEGAN,
SEE HER TWO EYES OF BLUE,
FLIRTING BEHIND HER FAN.
LOOK AT HIS SILK AND LACE,
ISN'T HE DEBONAIR?
AND
THE SMILE ON HIS FACE
TELLS
OF THE LOVE THEY
SHARE.
HEAR THEIR TWO HEARTS
SOFTLY BEAT,
ONE MOMENT MORE
AND THEIR LIPS WILL MEET.
WHAT A SWEET AND CHARMING
PICTURE,
LOVE IN GLORY, LOVE IN
BLOOM,
DON`T YOU WISH THAT WE WERE
IN AN
EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
DRAWING ROOM. Man, I can hear Mom singing this as plain as day. It was wonderful and as a young teenager, well, just hopeful and such. Thanks Mom for sharing your love of music with all us kids.
