Sarah Vaughan - Because

A WIDER WORLD OF HOPE AND JOY I SEE

Because, canción de Guy D'Hardelot y Edward Teschemacher contenida en el álbum Sarah slightly classical (1963) es mi favorita del extraordinario repertorio de la legendaria cantante estadounidense Sarah Vaughan (Newark, New Jersey, US, 27-3-1924 / Los Angeles California, US, 3-4-1990), de quien hoy se conmemora su 91 aniversario natal.

Because (lyrics)

Because you come to me with naught save love
And hold my hand and lift my eyes above
A wider world of hope and joy I see
Because you come to me

Because you speak to me in accent sweet
I find the roses waking round my feet
And I am led through tears and joy to thee
Because you speak to me

Because God made thee mine I'll cherish thee
Through light and darkness, through all time to be
And pray his love may make our love divine
Because God made thee mine
