And your bird can sing

“Skylark”   Jackie Paris Brunswick Records.   (1955)

    Only Yesterday, If Love Is Good To Me.

    (JACKIE PARIS, vocal; NORMAN LEYDEN, leader, arranger; BILLY TAYLOR, piano; TRIGGER ALBERT, bass; CARMEN MASTERN, guitar; BUNNY SHAWKER, drums; HYMIE SCHERTZER, alto; AL KLINK, tenor; plus 4 strings.)

    I Had A talk with A Daisy , Skylark, Idle Gossip.

    (JACKIE PARIS, vocal; NEAL HEFTI, leader, arranger; BILLY TAYLOR, piano; SANDY BLOCK, bass; ED GRADY, drums; GEORGE BARNES, guitar; HARRY BRAUER, vibes; plus 10 strings.)

I love this song.   Gene Ammons does a nice instrumental version, but everyone has done it.   Johnny Mercer wrote the words (allegedly for Judy Garland with whom he had an affair) and Hoagy Carmichael wrote the music.   It was published in 1942.

Skylark

Have you anything to say to me

Won’t you tell me where my love can be

Is there a meadow in the mist

Where someone’s waiting to be kissed

Oh skylark

Have you seen a valley green with spring

Where my heart can go a-journeying

Over the shadows and the rain

To a blossom-covered lane

And in your lonely flight

Haven’t you heard the music in the night

Wonderful music

Faint as a will o’ the wisp

Crazy as a loon

Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon

Oh skylark

I don’t know if you can find these things

But my heart is riding on your wings

So if you see them anywhere

Won’t you lead me there

Oh skylark

Won’t you lead me there
