ナンシー・ウィルソンのデビュー・アルバムといえる Nancy Wilson / The Cannonball Adderley Quintet (1961) では、ナット・アダレイが1960年に書いたばかりのこの曲を歌っていて、なかなか心に染み入る歌唱だったのですが、ティアニー・サットンもデビュー・アルバムに、それも最初のトラックにこの曲を収録していて、こちらも思わず耳をそばだて、引き込まれる歌唱になっています。
この曲はミュージカル(舞台)Guys and Dolls (1950) で使われました

【フランク・レッサー・ソングブック】では(まだ)取り上げていない曲です。
スタンダード曲になっています。
I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forever more
I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been
In love before
I Up on the wire
I like to climb and play with the sky
The people far below
The air is clear
And I can perceive
The whole world is shining
Life is sublime
And when you dare to go up in the air and leave the earth far behind you
As I step and dip and leap into a space beyond
Up high
Just for a moment
Alive
And so afraid but alive
As I push against the sky and my heart has broken free
II Fear turns to joy
When you can race the edge of the sky
And life's intense and strong
It's not so long
Before you will run
Beyond your horizons
Up on the wire
The line is thin and you must bow and surf against the sky so precisely
But the sky seems to go on as far as you can see
Up high
Just for this moment
Alive
And so afraid but alive
As the wire disappears
And you've finally broken free
III As I step and dip and leap into a place beyond
Up high
Just for this moment
Up on the wire
I like to climb and play with the sky
The people far below
The air is clear
And I can perceive
The whole world is shining
Life is sublime
And when you dare to go up in the air and leave the earth so precisely
As I step and dip and leap into a place beyond
Up high
Just for this moment
Alive
And so afraid but alive
As I dip against the sky and my heart has broken free
Broken free
Broken free
Up high

ティアニー・サットンはライナーノーツに「このアルバムのコンセプトにフィットする曲」と記しています。
In the park, in the dark underneath the moon
Hear a boy and a girl hummin' Bernie's Tune.
Went to sleep countin' sheep by a blue lagoon
Heard a frog on a log croakin' Bernie's Tune.
It's so easy to whistle, It's so easy to sing
Even hummingbirds hum it, it's the thing.
Office clerks, soda jerks whistle Bernie's Tune
Millionaires, even squares whistle Bernie's Tune.
Hark the lark in the park crazy as a loon
In a tree skillfully singing Bernie's Tune.
Little kids go to school singin' Bernie's Tune
Gurglin' brooks, bubblin' pools babble Bernie's Tune.
You don't have to read music, you don't have to be smart
Bernie says you can sing it from the heart.
ウェイン・ショーターが書いた有名曲"Speak No Evil" に後からヴァネッサ・ルービンが詞を書いたものです。
When days are done and gone the sun
Believe in your people, just speak no evil
Feel your passions burn, for tides to turn
Believe in your people, just speak no evil
Just speak no evil
All for one, one for all's the message
Keep you strong, standing tall
Forever facing fears, drying tears
Together, hear me!
A nation torn by courage born
Believe in your people just speak no evil
Just speak no evil
When days are done and gone the sun
Believe in your people, just speak no evil
You will come to see your destiny
You must believe in your people, just speak no evil
Just speak no evil
All for one, one for all's the message
Keep you strong, standing tall
Forever facing fears, drying tears
Together, hear me!
The lines are drawn, which side are you on
Believe in your people, just speak no evil
Just speak no evil, just speak no evil
Just speak no evil
他にも "Honeysuckle Rose ("Fats" Waller/Andy Razaf/1929) のコード進行を使った "Scrapple from the Apple" や "Embraceable you (George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin/1930)" のコード進行を使った "Quasimodo" がよく知られていますね。
演奏する側にいらっしゃる方は楽譜をご覧になって、よくご存じのことと思います。
I have always been a wand'rer
Over land and sea
Yet a moonbeam on the water
Casts a spell o'er me
A vision fair I see
Again I seem to be
Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight, still burning bright
Through the sycamores for me
The new-mown hay sends all its fragrance
Through the fields I used to roam
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
How I long for my Indiana home
Fancy paints on mem'ry's canvas
Scenes that we hold dear
We recall them in days after
Clearly they appear
And often times I see
A scene that's dear to me
Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight, still burning bright
Through the sycamores for me
The new-mown hay sends all its fragrance
Through the fields I used to roam
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
How I long for my Indiana home
