... Throughout the 1950s, Laine enjoyed a second career singing the title songs of Hollywood films and television shows, including: Gunfight At OK Corral, 3:10 To Yuma, Bullwhip, and Rawhide. His rendition of the title song for Mel Brooks' 1974 movie Blazing Saddles won an Oscar nomination for Best Song, and his recording of "Rawhide" for the television series of the same name has become a classic of the genre.
There Must Be a Reason
Frankie Laine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There must be a reason why mountains are tall.
And why are the stars in the sky?
There must be a reason why.
There must be a reason for rivers to flow.
For beautiful trees and flowers to grow.
And why have the birds wings to fly?
The changes from season to season,
The dawning that brings the new day.
These wonders mist all have a reason,
It was intended that way.
There must be a reason for falling in love,
It must have been planned up in Heaven above.
And why are we so much in love, you and I?
There must be a reason why.
The changes from season to season,
The dawning that brings the new day.
These wonders mist all have a reason,
It was intended that way.
There must be a reason for falling in love,
It must have been planned up in Heaven above.
And why are we so much in love, you and I?
There must be a reason why.
There must be a reason why.
Frankie Paul's song "Must Be An Angel" contains lyrics that convey a sense of awe and wonder at the intricacies of the natural world, as well as the human experience of love. The song suggests that there is a purpose to everything, from the falling raindrops and towering mountains to the flight of birds and the changing seasons. Paul implies that these natural phenomena were "intended" to be this way, perhaps implying the presence of a divine force that governs the universe.
The song then turns its attention to the human experience of falling in love, suggesting that this too must have been planned in heaven above. Paul's lyrics imply that love is not just a random occurrence, but rather a deliberate and purposeful act. The repetition of the phrase "there must be a reason why" throughout the song suggests a sense of curiosity and wonder at the world around us, as well as a belief in the existence of a higher power or guiding force.

I remember trying to sing this song and many others that were top in the hit parade in the early 1950s when the UK was a God fearing country, how times have changed when it was decided "we don't need God anymore" wonderful words about creation, lets a have a rethink before it's too late.
