Frank: Last night Axel and I were discussing what songs we thought you
fellows out
here at Birmingham Hospital would like to hear. Axel suggested we do a brand new one
never before done on the
air. Well, you know whatever Axel says
is law in the music
department. So here is "As Long As There's
Music" from the RKO picture, Step Lively.
As long as there's music and
words of romance
The spell of a theme starts you
to dream there's always a chance
As long as there's music,
whatever the song
As long as there's music for
sweethearts to sing
I'll sing you, my love, melodies
of the birds on the wing
My loneliest days will never
seem long
As long as there's music and you
are the song
<brief instrumental>
As long as there's music for
sweethearts to sing
I'll sing you, my love, melodies
of the birds on the wing
My loneliest days will never
seem long
As long as there's music and you are the song
