All the Things You Are
Mario Lanza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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!

Mario Lanza: listening to him since 1954. He never gets old. The best tenor of all.

Heard the best of the best of tenors sing this song, but Mario Lanza is the best of the best of the best.

Stevie dit le wonder

Lanza could retake an old dusty song and give a brand new life to it!
He was a wizard!
Truly amazing!

Michael, Thank you for such kind words. It is my pleasure to create these videos with Mario's beautiful voice. As a traditional painter, myself, it is always a joy for me to search through the innumerable beautiful paintings for what I consider to be just the "right" ones to accompany the lyrics and mood of Mario's songs. I love escellent dancers, ballet and modern, figure skaters of excellent quality, excellent acting ability in wonderful films. I have been very lucky to know these. Sandra

Joseph campbell

Thank you Michael!
