I remember my mom playing this song and songs like it from my earliest childhood. I was born in 1959. My mom passed away a couple days ago at 85 years old. I'm a grown man and listening to this song made me smile and cry at the same time. God Bless you my loving mother. I will miss you all the days of my life but, you will live on in my memory forever.
My silent heart..!! Again, as a child listening to the unbelievable soaring, perfect voices of this wonderful group!! (Yet I also loved..no adored Bobby Darin..!.)...I recently saw the movie..and, like listening to the Four Aces..I cried, again!
This song takes me right back to dancing in the darkened high school gym in 1955, with my "steady" boyfriend. The movie by the same name was wonderful, too.
I was very lucky to be a teenager at that time and to be able to dance to it. with some very pretty girls. You can actually understand the words to the song.
Love is a many splendored thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
Love is a many splendored thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
Absolutely beautiful, it reminds me of my childhood growing up in Cuba -I'm now 69-it brings back to me delightful and intoxicating memories of growing up in what was then Paradise, next to the Caribbean Sea and surrounded by a loving family and friends. What memories, this gorgeous music suits perfectly those emotions and remembrance of a distant era. Gabe Meruelo.
