A Friend Of Yours
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
And maybe they won't get wise,
And if they see us together,
I'll brush the dreams from my eyes.
I'll tell my heart it mustn't sing
The song of remember when,
Just say that I'm a friend o' yours
That you happened to meet again.
I'll tell my heart it mustn't sing
The song of remember when,
Just say that I'm a friend o' yours
That you happened to meet again.
A Friend Of Yours - Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby's "A Friend Of Yours" stands as a quintessential example of his mastery in the easy-listening and vocal jazz genres of the mid-20th century. Recorded with his signature warm, intimate tone, the track exemplifies Crosby's ability to blend crooning with a relaxed, conversational delivery that defined the era of radio and home recording. As a staple of his discography, the song reflects the broader musical landscape of the period, where crooners often paired balladry with swing-inflected rhythms to create an atmosphere of nostalgia and comfort. The recording showcases Crosby's technical skill in phrasing and his capacity to convey deep emotion without relying on complex instrumentation, making it a cherished piece within his catalog of popular standards.
