The song was publishe 1941.
In 1941 it was a top 10 hit for three separate artists, Charlie Barnet, Jimmy Dorsey and Dinah Shore. “I Hear a Rhapsody” was at the top of "Your Hit Parade" in 1941. It was featured in the 1952 film noir Clash by Night, in which it was sung by Tony Martin. The sound track featured jazz notables such as pianist Gerald Wiggins, alto saxophonist Benny Carter, and tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins. The film, directed by Fritz Lang, involved a love triangle in a small fishing village and starred Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Ryan, and Paul Douglas.
When you're near the murmuring of the breeze Becomes a symphony, a rhapsody
And when I hear you call so softly to me I don't hear a call at all, I hear a rhapsody And when your sparkling eyes are smiling at me Then soft through the starlit skies, I hear a rhapsody
My days are so blue when you're away My heart longs for you, so won't you stay? My darling hold me tight and whisper to me Then soft through a starry night I'll hear a rhapsody
My days are so blue when you're away My heart longs for you, so won't you stay? My darling hold me tight and whisper to me Then soft through a starry night I'll hear a rhapsody
