All the Things You Are

All the Things You Are
Very Warm for May (1939)
Mario Lanza, tenor
Music, Jerome Kern
Lyrics, Oscar Hammerstein II




You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long.
You are the breathless hush of evening
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.

You are the angel glow that lights a star.
The dearest things I know are what you are.
One day my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are are mine.


이 곡은 1939년, 당시로서는 음역이 너무 크고 부르기 어려워서
단기 상영으로 끝나고 만 Very Warm For May 라는 브로드웨이
뮤지컬에 쓰여진 곡으로, 훗날 여러 재즈 뮤지션들이 다루게 되면서
비로소 빛나는 사랑의 넘버로 자리잡게 된 곡입니다.
