Charmaine

Charmaine

A sweet-scented breath of loveliness from the 1920s, "Charmaine" was written by Eno Rapée and Lew Pollack for the classic silent film What Price Glory (1926), starring Victor McLaglen, Edmund Lowe and the beautiful Dolores Del Rio. Theater pit orchestras, mighty Wurlizters and countless honky-tonk pianos played it wherever the film was shown, while contented audiences hummed and whistled it into tremendous popularity. Later, during World War II, Harry James and his orchestra played it in the move Two Girls and a Sailor, and in 1951 it rose to even greater heights via Mantovani's best-selling recording.

(Female) I wonder why you keep me waiting, Charmaine, cries in vain.
I wonder when bluebirds are mating,
Will you come back again?
I wonder if I keep on praying,
Will our dreams be the same?
I wonder if you
Ever think of me, too;
Charmaine's waiting, Just waiting for you.

(Male) I wonder why you keep me waiting, Charmaine, my Charmaine.
I wonder when bluebirds are mating,
Will you come back again?
I wonder if I keep on praying,
Will our dreams be the same?
I wonder if you
Ever think of me, too;
I am waiting, My Charmaine, for you.
