Dick Haymes (September 13, 1918 – March 28, 1980) was one of the most popular American male vocalists of the 1940s and early 1950s.
He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His Irish-born mother, Marguerite Haymes (1894-1987), was a well-known vocal coach and instructor. He became the vocalist in a number of big bands, worked in Hollywood on radio and in many films throughout the forties and fifties.
He never became a United States citizen and avoided military service during World War II by asserting his non-belligerent status as a citizen of Argentina, which was neutral. Years later (1955), this act of his nearly caused his deportation to Argentina on an unrelated technicality in immigration law. During World War II, he was briefly detained at Ellis Island.
Haymes was married six times and had six children. His most famous marriages were to film actresses Joanne Dru (1941-1949) and Rita Hayworth (1953-1955). His daughter Stephanie Haymes was married to Sir Elton John's lyricist Bernie Taupin
He died in Los Angeles from lung cancer, at the age of 61.
Maybe It's Because
Dick Haymes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Touched my heart my heart and went right through
I can't tell you why I only know that I
Fell helplessly in love with you
Maybe it's because the song we danced to
Told a story old and new
I can't figure out just why it came about
Or how I fell in love with you
I care for you so
But there is a why and wherefore
And I'd like to know
Maybe it's because the star I wished on
Made a certain wish come true
Or it just could be that you were meant for me
And maybe I was meant for you
Baby I could say you're grand and therefore
Therefore I care for you so
But there is a why and wherefore
And I'd like to know
Maybe it's because the star I wished on
Made a certain a certain wish come true
Or it just could be that you were meant for me
And maybe I was meant for you
