  • The lyrics (by Sammy Cahn) were written for the movie "How The West Was Won" (1962), originally sung by Debbie Reynolds.
    From the album "New Echoes Of The Old West"; Harve Presnell is accompanied by Geoff Love and his Orchestra & The Lisa Grey Singers.
    Away, Away
    Come away with me
    Where the grass grows wild, where the winds blow free
    Away, Away
    Come away with me
    And I'll build you a home in the meadow
    Come, Come
    There's a wondrous land
    For the hopeful heart, for the willing hand
    Come, Come
    There's a wondrous land
    Where I'll build you a home in the meadow
    The hills! The hills! Look beyond the hills,
    there are rivers wide, there are whip-poor-wills
    The hills! The hills! Look beyond the hills,
    To that home we will build in the meadow.
    Come, Come
    There's a wondrous land
    For the hopeful heart, for the willing hand
    Come, Come
    There's a wondrous land
    Where I'll build you a home in the meadow
    The stars, the stars
    Oh how bright they'll shine
    On a world the Lord must have helped design
    The stars, the stars
    Oh how bright they'll shine
    On that home we will build in the meadow
    Come, Come
    There's a wondrous land
    For the hopeful heart, for the willing hand
    Come, Come
    There's a wondrous land
    Where I'll build you a home in the meadow.

    It is always wonderful for me, to hear Harves`s clean, melodious baritone voice . This song is masterfully performed by him.

    Loved him in the Cohen Bros.' film "Fargo". Wonderful actor who could sing. Right up there with Richard Kiley.

    As I posted in previous videos it's astonishing this man wasn't the biggest thing going. Why? What is there lacking? He had the physical look of a young Howard Keel with a similar tone but light years better! His voice makes Gordon McRae, Howard Keel and other more established stars sound like a cat with a nail in its paw. The only other parallel I can think of is Enzio Pinza performing Some Enchanted Evening. Neither of these men reached the heights they should have scaled. They were simply better.

      Harve had an amazing voice, he was handsome and he could act. I can't imagine why he didn't enjoy more success. But I love Gordon MacRae, Ezio Pinza could sing opera and anything else he desired. What a voice.

    I never knew Harve to have such a voice!! It isn't that I'm musically ignorant( film,theatre,pop,opera). Where have I been? His rendition of They call the Wind Miraha is really something.

    Wonderfull !!!
    Thank You Ami Yarimi for post this wonder with their lyrics!
    As a thank you, I am posting the lyrics translated into Brazilian Portuguese, my country!
    UMA CASA NO PRADO
    Longe, longe
    Venha embora comigo
    Onde a grama cresce selvagem, onde os ventos sopram livremente
    Longe, longe
    Venha embora comigo
    E eu vou construir uma casa para você no prado
    Vem vem
    Há uma terra maravilhosa
    Para o coração esperançoso, para a mão disposta
    Vem vem
    Há uma terra maravilhosa
    Onde eu vou construir uma casa para você no prado
    As colinas! As colinas! Olhe além das colinas,
    há rios largos, há coitados
    As colinas! As colinas! Olhe além das colinas,
    Para essa casa vamos construir no prado.
    Vem vem
    Há uma terra maravilhosa
    Para o coração esperançoso, para a mão disposta
    Vem vem
    Há uma terra maravilhosa
    Onde eu vou construir uma casa para você no prado
    As estrelas, as estrelas
    Oh quão brilhante eles vão brilhar
    Em um mundo que o Senhor deve ter ajudado a projetar
    As estrelas, as estrelas
    Oh quão brilhante eles vão brilhar
    Naquela casa vamos construir no prado
    Vem vem
    Há uma terra maravilhosa
    Para o coração esperançoso, para a mão disposta
    Vem vem
    Há uma terra maravilhosa
    Onde eu vou construir uma casa para você no prado.
    Onde eu vou construir uma casa para você no prado.

    All these years behind me. I now recognize that that it isn't the song music, the lyrics nor the arrangement except the part with chorus which is too long and overpowering. Nashville did the same thing at the same time and many songs opened with what sounded like the soprano rehearsal tract. There's never a need to cover Harve Presnell's voice.

    I didn't know that Wade Gustafson was so romantic soul in his young age. What was happened, that his end was so tragic and grotesque ? 😉
