Frank Munn - Lady Divine

Lady Divine is the theme song for 1929 silent film "The Divine Lady". Composed by Nat Shilkret and sung by tenor Frank Munn. There's not much information available on Frank Munn but I managed to find Frank's obituary on Time magazine online, which helps getting a better picture of who he was.


Visit the blog Vitaphone Varieties for plenty of information on old movie soundtracks.




Years of desire and wanting
Days that no pleasure knew
Love, dreams and fancy taunting
And then at last I found you

The rose of love soft caressing
Your lips, oh lady divine
My heart ? confessing
With hope is whispering today

Your eyes, your smile find me longing
To draw your breast to mine
?
And hear you saying you are my lady divine
