Polka Dots and Moonbeams

Johnny Burke / Jimmy Van Heusen

1940年製のスタンダード・ナンバー。Lyricsがとっても魅力的💕な曲です。「水玉模様と月光ってなんだ？」と思いつつ聴いていくと ...なるほど "Ever After" なのね。ふむふむ。(どなたか親切なジャズ・ボーカルの方，歌って＆解説お願いしま～す❣) きっと誰もがシナプスの奥深くに，こんな記憶があるはず。 ...だよねっ？ キーはサラ・ボーンと同じC Majorにしました。 G3-B4なので，男女問わず，大半の方が歌える声域です。 イントロ1小節ですぐに始まります。 A county dance was being held in a garden I felt a bump and heard an"Oh, beg your pardon" Suddenly I saw Polka dots and moonbeams All around a pugnosed dream The music started and was I the perplexed one I held my breath and said"May I have the next one?" In my frightened arms Polka dots and moonbeams Sparked on a pugnosed dream There were questions in the eyes of other dancers As we floated over the floor There were questions but my heart knew all the answer And perhaps a few things more Now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter I know the meaning of the words "Ever After" And I'll always see Polka dots and moonbeams When I kiss my pugnosed dream...
