Hi, Folks -

From their 1994 collaboration album "Sure Thing - The Jerome Kern Songbook", here are Sylvia McNair and Andre Previn 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...
