Love Is A Many Splendored Thing
"Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing" is a popular song, with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Paul Francis Webster, in the 50s. The song was publicised first in the movie of the same name in 1955.
This sentimental theme song was one of the first songs written for a movie to become a top hit. The version recorded by The Four Aces went to #1 on the charts for four weeks (1 week in September, 1 week in October and 2 weeks in November) in 1955. This was quite a feat, considering rock 'n' roll was beginning to take its root. The song went on subsequently to win the Academy Award for The Best Original Song.
The song has also been recorded by Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Ringo Starr and Barry Manilow, among many others.
Lyrics:
Love is a many-splendored thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many-splendored thing
The video below showed The Four Aces re-performing the popular song in later year
