Subject: BORN TO BE WITH YOU From: wysiwyg Date: 11 Sep 00 - 03:37 PM Well, while I was in California I found the most delightful bluegrass book, The Bluegrass Fakebook, with 150 songs, 50 of them gospel, for only $14.95, by Bert Casey, pub. Cassette & Video Learning Systems. It has the sweetest lil love song I ever saw, and I believe it is a universal one, fit to express any kinda love you can think of (Spaw, quit that!!). It can even be a hymn. The title pops up in Mudcat SuperSearch, but I dunno if people meant this one or something else with the same title.
Anyway here it is. ~S~

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: BORN TO BE WITH YOU From: Giac Date: 11 Sep 00 - 07:00 PM Didn't Gogi Grant have a hit with that in the early 50s? If she didn't have the hit record, then she must have sung it on "The Hit Parade" on radio (and/or TV). I know the song and can hear it in her voice. Probably my senility kicking in again. ~:o) It was about the same time that "Wayward Wind" was a big number, I think. I had malaria and was bedfast for months, lying there listening to the radio, alternately chilling and sweating and tripping from the fever. My mother said I sang a lot when I was delirious. Hmmmm, in retrospect, that explains a lot! **BG**

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: BORN TO BE WITH YOU From: Joe Offer Date: 12 Sep 00 - 02:12 AM Is this a song, or a haiku? -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: BORN TO BE WITH YOU From: John Hindsill Date: 12 Sep 00 - 09:22 AM I sort of remember this song popularized by the Chordettes ('Mr. Sandman') or was it the lovely Lennon Sisters? Or was [emphasis]it Gogi Grant? I'll stick with my first answer.---John |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: BORN TO BE WITH YOU From: Giac Date: 12 Sep 00 - 10:19 AM I heard it as a song, Joe, honest, full of space between lines, but maybe it started life as a haiku and devolved into a lower life form. The Chordettes, you say, hmmmmmmm, could be. |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: BORN TO BE WITH YOU From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Sep 00 - 10:28 AM Well Joe, it seems like a bitty ditty now but stop and think. There we are, in the San Francisco airport, and I am sitting beside you giggling over something you just said, and you say something about how much fun it is to meet another Mudcatter, and I burst into this little song. Because, dear friend, I was born to be with you! How else could such a meeting have occurred? Born to be with you, just as surely as though I had been born your sister. And Joe. As a hymn. Try it. Born to be with You, Lord, made for you.... Or Jesus singing to us, Born to be with you, Joe. Aw hell. I'll tape it and send it so you can catch the tune. I'll do it in church as an offertory, we are taping the services now on Saturday night, bad as we sound! ~S~
