Repassez-moi l'standard ... "Long Ago and Far Away" musique de Jerome Kern & texte Ira Gershwin (1944)

"Long Ago and Far Away, un des plus beaux thèmes parmi les nombreux qu’ait écrit Jerome Kern compositeur prolixe qui s’est s’est illustré au long de sa carrière à Broadway, 

comme à Hollywood, ces deux pôles d’excellence du divertissement à l’américaine, dont ce compositeur qui aligna les succès, fut un des plus illustres représentants !" Laurent Valero 

Long ago and far away I dreamed a dream one-day
And now that dream is here beside me !
Long the skies were overcast but now the clouds have past
You're here at last ! ...

... Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me !
Just one look and then I knew that all I longed for long ago
Was you ! ...

... Long ago, so long ago and far away !
So long ago !

So long ago and far away, I dreamed a dream one-day
And now that dream is here beside me !
Long the skies were overcast but now the clouds have past
You're here at last !

Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me !
Just one look and then I knew, that all I longed for long ago
So long ago, was you ! Just you !
