Ella Fitzgerald - My Shining Hour Lyrics






This moment, this minute
And each second in it
Will leave a glow upon the sky
And as time goes by, it will never die

This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
And in my dreams, your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night

Like the lights of home before me
Or an angel, who's watching o'er me
This will be my shining hour
'til I'm with you again

(Like the lights of home before me)
(Or an angel watching o'er me)
This will be my shining hour
'til I'm with you... again

    Who is the trombone soloist? Probably Urbie Green or Kai Winding.

    it's hilarious how due to warping/some sort of correction, this is exactly a quarter tone off from two different keys

    +DarthClam thanks for the warning! I was going to try and learn it from this recording!

    D.... ....

    +DarthClam I'm sitting at my newly tuned Steinway, and it's in Bflat almost exactly, a mere few microtones sharp.

  3. J.... M....

    Wonderful arrangement of this song....the perfect voice of Ella and always better when enhanced by a full orchestra rather than a combo behind her.

  4. J.... M....

    Like the face of Mischa Auer

  5. G.... S....

    As good as it gets.

  6. M.... ....

    Wonderful rendition, and kudos to Ella for including the verse portion of the song on so many of her recordings which not too many vocalists did.  

  7. L.... ....

    2:30  A great vocal passage from Charlie Brown's teacher!

    L.... ....

    HA!  I didn't know what was meant by "Charlie Brown's teacher" until I heard the entire recording!  Mom used to make reference to the muted trumpet sound being "Charlie Brown's teacher" all the time.  Actually, I think that the "teacher" kind of distracted me from Ella's singing in this recording, but I wanted to say that I enjoyed seeing your comment as much as I enjoyed hearing the recording.
