Hi, Folks -

From their 1994 collaboration album "Sure Thing - The Jerome Kern Songbook", here are Sylvia McNair and Andre Previn (1929-2019) with "The Land Where the Good Songs Go". The lyrics were written by P.G. Wodehouse.

Thanks to YouTuber etudes6. Lyrics courtesy of www.karaoke-lyrics.net are below the clip.

On the other side of the moon,
Ever so far,
Beyond the last little star,

There’s a land, I know,
where the good songs go,
Where it’s always afternoon;
And snug in a haven of peace and rest,
Lie the dear old songs that we love the best.

It’s a land of flowers
And April showers
With sunshine in between,
With roses blowing and rivers flowing,
’Mid rushes growing green;
Where no one hurries
And no one worries
And life runs calm and slow:
And I wish some day I could find my way
To the land where the good songs go.

Dear old songs forgotten too soon—
They had their day,
And then we threw them away;
And without a sigh we would pass them by,
For some other, newer tune.
So off to a happier home they flew,
Where they’re always loved and they’re always new.

It’s a land of flowers...
