A Chorus of Disapproval - (Can you name the song?)

[Derdup]

Hi friends.



In the 1988 film A CHORUS OF DISAPPROVAL, Jeremy Irons sings a song with the following lyric:



"All the world's in love with love, and I love you"



I'd like to know the name of this song and from where it originates.

Gilbert and Sullivan perhaps?



Thank you

-Harry-

In answer to your question, MERRY WIDOW WALTZ

From "The Merry Widow"

(Franz Lehár / Adrian Ross)



Love unspoken, faith unbroken,

All life through.

Strings are playing, hear them saying,

"Love me true".

Now the echo answers,

"Say you want me too".

All the world's in love with love

And I love you.



Young lovers all awake,

Night brings you waltz time

And the moonlight sings in waltz time.

All the lanterns are swinging and burning low,

Where are the fond couples clinging

As round they go?



Young lovers all take heart,

Bright, siren beauty

Play your part now, do your duty,

Let your heart sing this refrain!

For it's waltz time once again.



Come away, come away to the ball,

Where the dreams that you dream will be true.

For the strings as they play seem to call,

Beckon and call to you.



Come away, come away to the waltz,

Float along on a lilting refrain.

To the land of desire where no heart can be false,

And the world shall be young again.



I hear the music play,

It carries me away.

All sorrows will have flown

When you are mine and mine alone.



I hear the music play,

It carries me away.

All sorrows will have flown

When you are mine and mine alone.



All mine alone.

All mine alone.

Mine alone.



Love unspoken, faith unbroken,

All life through.

Strings are playing, hear them saying,

"Love me true".

Now the echo answers,

"Say you want me too".

All the world's in love with love

And I love you.



When you are mine alone,

All mine alone.
