Unchained Melody (love theme from "Ghost")



Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger!, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

That's romantic Hayley. Was yours the Righteous Brothers version or Robson and Jerome?

The neighbour sang her version in the early1950's

Here are the lyrics - I have a musical box/jewellery box my Mum bought me for my 21st which plays the tune while a little ballerina turns round.

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye,
An' it looks like its climbin' clear up to the sky.

Chorus:
Oh what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day,
I've got a wonderful feeling,
Everything's going my way.


Repeat chorus

All the cattle are standing like statues,
All the cattel are standing like statues,
They don't turn their heads as they see me ride by.
But a little brown mav'rick is winking her eye.

Repeat chorus

All the sounds of the earth are like music,
All the sounds of the earth are like music,
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree,
And an ol' Weepin' Willer is laughin' at me.

Repeat chorus

Mary Martin...thanks guys.

Liz,"Oh What a Beautiful Morning" was the first song we learnt on the mouth organ in Grade 4,I can still remember the teacher singing it.
I didn't know that song came from Oklahoma the musical.Thank you for that.

First song my mother heard just after giving birth to me one bright Friday morning in July '47, was Oh What a beautiful morning, from Oklahoma!
I too heard all those songs in my younger days.

'Unchained Melody', not from a musical and not Robson and Jerome version, but our next door neighbour used to sing it incessantly when she was alone in the house lol Drove my mother nuts but when R and J brought it out, it reminded Mum of her long gone neighbour.

Hayley,my parents had that album too,(South Pacific), I grew up on all that type of music.I will never forget that beautiful blonde actress singing "I'm
Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair" (and send him on his way..)
in the film "South Pacific".She was sort of Doris Day -ish,cute,blonde and
girl next door-ish.Does anyone know who she was?
Salad Days was another one,not as well known as South Pacific.Ah,they
were the good old days...I'm not really big on musicals either,it always seems pretty weird when a character just bursts into song,but there was something really special about the old -time musicals like "Paint Your
Wagon" (They Call the Wind Moriah, Old Man River) etc.They made your spine tingle with the sheer power of the music and the lyrics.No doubt there are many,many more,but those ones stand out for me! Does anyone remember any others??
