Helen Forrest
with the Artie Shaw Orchestra (1940)
- All the Things You Are (Kern & Hammerstein)

This is the best ballad ever written, in my opinion.

All The Things You Are (1939)
Music: Jerome Kern
Words: Oscar Hammerstein II

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long

You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are

Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I’ll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
