Love is a many splendored thing It's the April rose That only grows in the early spring Love is nature's way of giving A reason to be living The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill In the morning mist Two lovers kissed And the world stood still Then your fingers touched My silent heart and taught it how to sing Yes, true love's A many splendored thing
下面照片是電影中的畫面,也是歌中唱到的小山 "high and windy hill"
美國的流行歌曲經Gershwin兄弟和Irving Berlin之後,曲式基本為兩段或三段式,一到兩段敘述性旋律,再加一段順口易記的詠唱樂段,把全曲推向高潮。但Love Is a Many Splendored Thing 這首歌只是一段式,而且第一個音就是全曲的最高音,直抒胸臆,唱出主題。全曲一氣呵成,盪氣迴腸。
