Dear Hearts And Gentle People
Bing Crosby · Bing's Gold Records
i love those dear hearts and gentle people
who live in my home town
because those dear hearts and gentle people
will never ever let you down
they read the good book
from fri till monday
that's how the weekend goes
i've got a dream house
i'll build there one day
with picket fence and ramblin rows
i feel so welcome each time i return
that my happy heart keeps laughing like a clown
i love the dear hearts and gentle people
who live and love in my home town
there's a place i'd like to go
and it's back in idaho
where you're friendly neighbors smile and say hello
it's a pleasure and a treat
to meandor down the street
that's why i want the whole wide world to know
i love those dear hearts
i love the gentle people
(who live in my home town)
because those dear hearts and gentle people
will never ever let you down
they read the good book
from fri till monday
that's how the weekend goes
i've got a dream house
i'll build there one day
with picket fence and ramblin rows
i feel so welcome each time i return
that my happy heart keeps laughing like a clown
i love the dear hearts and gentle people
who live and love in my home town
(home home sweet home
home home sweet home)
home home sweet home
home home sweet home
who live in my home town
because those dear hearts and gentle people
will never ever let you down
they read the good book
from fri till monday
that's how the weekend goes
i've got a dream house
i'll build there one day
with picket fence and ramblin rows
i feel so welcome each time i return
that my happy heart keeps laughing like a clown
i love the dear hearts and gentle people
who live and love in my home town
there's a place i'd like to go

Dear Hearts And Gentle People
Bing Crosby's 'Dear Hearts And Gentle People' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery in the easy-listening and vocal jazz genres. Recorded for his 'Bing's Gold Records' album, this track showcases Crosby's signature warm, baritone delivery that defined the crooner's appeal during the mid-20th century. The song reflects the era's preference for intimate, radio-friendly ballads that emphasized emotional connection over complex instrumentation. As part of Crosby's extensive discography, the recording highlights his ability to convey warmth and sincerity, making it a staple in collections of his greatest hits and a testament to his enduring influence on American popular music.
