    What a beautiful vocal to a lovely piece of music. Oh how much I wish this music had never faded away. Modern music is mostly garbage with self-indulgent and explicit lyrics played by individuals who actually can't actually play well. This is delightful and kudos to the singer and the band for giving hope to lovers of truly great music.

    My mom came of age in WWII and worked at Boeing Aircraft in WWII. Now our days are so precious. I am spending every moment rereading the most amazing love letters from the WWII men who loved her and who were part of the Greatest Generation. And we listen to music like this all day as heaven beckons. Through memories and tears and beautiful voices and music like this God will carry her safely home.

    Why do robins sing in December
    Long before the Springtime is due?
    And even though it's snowing, violets are growing
    I know why and so do you
    Why do breezes sigh every evening whispering your name as they do?
    And why have I the feeling stars are on my ceiling?
    I know why and so do you
    When you smile at me I hear gypsy violins
    When you dance with me, I'm in heaven when the music begins
    I can see the sun when it's raining, hiding every cloud from my view
    And why do I see rainbows when you're in my arms?
    I know why and so do you
    I can see the sun when it's raining, hiding every cloud from my view
    And why do I see rainbows when you're in my arms?
    I know why and so do you
    I know why and so do you

    I didn't realize this was "I Know Why", I heard them say it was I Know Why by Glenn Miller and I didn't recognize the name until they started the first few notes. I LOVE Glenn Miller but Sunny Gale's "What do you want to make those eyes at me for" is my favorite song at the moment lol

      That's putting it mildly!
      In just 3½ years Glenn Miller had more #1 hits than Elvis and the Beatles combined. There were estimates that in 1941 he had a quarter to a third of all pop/swing record sales.
      Gone FAR too soon. RIP Major Miller.
