Tenderly (1946)

This popular song has been recorded by many people - starting with Dick Farney in 1946, following quickly by Sarah Vaughn - but it's most often associated with Rosemary Clooney. It's one of those rare songs that's available in both 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures. Listen to Rosemary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUUeaGgohRE Reader Digest noted that Walter Gross wasn't originally sold on Jack Lawrence's lyrics, fearing musicians would think "tenderly" was a musical suggestion and not the song title. This arrangement is from Reader's Digest's "Treasury of Best Loved Songs." If you enjoyed the video, please Like and Subscribe.

Morris & Company. All rights reserved. The evening breeze caressed the trees, tenderly The trembling trees embraced the breeze, tenderly Then you and I came wandering by And lost in a sigh were we The shore was kissed by sea and mist, tenderly I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly Your arms opened wide and closed me inside You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly
