Musical Monday: Mantovani "Tulips from Amsterdam"

 Annunzio Paolo Mantovani    (known as Mantovani)

 The book British Hit Singles & Albums states that he was "Britain's most successful album act before the Beatles...the first act to sell over one million stereo albums and [have] six albums simultaneously in the US Top 30 in 1959"
(Listen to it HERE.)

Born November 15th, 1905 in Venice, Italy.  Died March 29th, 1980 in Kent, England

((Oh, if you likes it, and want to here the lyrics, listen to THIS one sung by Johnny Weaver too.))

When it's Spring again I'll bring again
Tulips from Amsterdam
With a heart that's true I'll give to you
Tulips from Amsterdam
I can't wait until the day you fill
These eager arms of mine
Like the windmill keeps on turning
That's how my heart keeps on yearning
For the day I know we can
Share these tulips from Amsterdam

When it's Spring again I'll bring again
Tulips from Amsterdam
With a heart that's true I'll give to you
Tulips from Amsterdam
I can't wait until the day you fill
These eager arms of mine
Like the windmill keeps on turning
That's how my heart keeps on yearning
For the day I know we can
Share these tulips from Amsterdam

Share these tulips from Amsterdam
