Every Night at Seven is the fictional show within a show, headlining Fred Astaire and Jane Powell, in “Royal Wedding“
Too late now to forget your smile
The way we cling when we’ve danced a while
Too late now to forget and go on to someone new
There’s a kind o’ walk you walk
When the world’s undone you,
There’s a kind o’ walk you walk
When you’re walking proud
It only happens when I dance with you
That trip to heaven till the dance is through
With no one else do the heavens seem quite so near
Why does it happen dear only with you?
Hi-diddle-dee-dee
An actor’s life for me
A high silk hat and a silver cane
A watch of gold with a diamond chain
I’ve got no strings,
To hold me down,
To make me fret,
or make me frown.
I had strings,
But now I’m free,
There are no strings on me.
“Auld Lang Syne” is a popular song, traditionally, it is sung to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. It’s also often heard at funerals, graduations, and as a farewell or ending to other occasions. The text is a Scots-language poem written by Robert Burns in 1788, based on an older Scottish folk song. In 1799, it was set to a traditional tune, which has since become standard.
Chattanooga Choo Choo was originally recorded as a big band/swing tune by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra and featured in the 1941 movie Sun Valley Serenade. It was the first song to receive a gold record.
Once in the dear dead days beyond recall,
When on the world the mists began to fall,
Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng
Low to our hearts Love sang an old sweet song;
And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam,
Softly it wove itself into our dream.
Just a song a twilight, when the lights are low,
And the flick’ring shadows softly come and go,
Tho’ the heart be weary, sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight comes Love’s old song,
comes Love’s old sweet song.
