Thread Name: Query re lyrics in Blue Moon - 'will ever hold'??
Subject: Query re lyrics in Blue Moon'
The choir I sing with is learning an arrangement of the Rogers and Hart song "Blue Moon", but we are having a dispute with some of the lyrics. In the bridge we are singing:
"And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms WILL ever hold"

whereas a couple of us who have been singing the song forever (probably picked up from the radio in years gone by) think it should be
"And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms WOULD ever hold"

Does anyone in Mudcatville have access to the original sheet music to solve this? The pedants in The Bright Star Singers of Sydney, Oz, would be forever grateful.

Cheers
