I'm probably just missing a previous thread because it seems to me that this old song has been discussed before.

In Google, it says there are 7,000 plus references to the phrase, but it didn't come up with the song, as far as I went.

This song goes:

There's music in the air when the infant morn is nigh
And faint its blush is seen in the bright and laughing(?) sky
Many a heart, dah, dah, dah, dah, thrills us with its joy profound
dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, when there's music in the air.

Can someone help me? I'm hoping to present it to a musician friend who is coming over at noon to play.

T'anks much.

THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR
(Lyrics by Francis Jane Crosby ~ Music by George Frederick Root ~ 1857)

1.
There's music in the air
When the infant morn is nigh
And faint its blush is seen
On the bright and laughing sky.

CHORUS
Many a harp's extatic sound
With its thrill of joy profound
While we list enchanted there
To the music in the air.

2.
There's music in the air
When the moonlight's sultry beam
Reflects a golden light
On the distant mountain stream.

CHORUS
When beneath some grateful shade
Sorrow's aching head is laid
Sweetly to the spirit there
Comes the music in the air.

3.
There's music in the air
When the twilight's gentle sigh
Is lost on evening's breast
As its pensive beauties die.

CHORUS
Then, O then the loved ones gone
Wake the pure celestial song
Angel voices greet us there
In the music of the air.
