Misty
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
Ah, I'm walkin' on a cloud
I can't understand, Lord
I'm misty holdin' your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your "hello"
That music I hear, Lord
I'm misty the moment you're near
You can say that you're leadin' me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't ya notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm followin' you
Ooh, on my own
Should I wander through this wonderland alone, now
Never knowin' my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove, Lord
I'm misty, and too much in love
You can say that you're leadin' me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't ya notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm followin' you
Ooh, on my own
Should I wander through this wonderland alone, now
Never knowin' my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove, Lord
I'm misty, and too much in love
(Misty) too much in love
(Misty) too much in love
(Misty)
(Misty) too much in love
Misty - Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby's recording of 'Misty' stands as a definitive interpretation of the classic jazz standard, blending his signature vocal warmth with the song's haunting, atmospheric quality. Released in the mid-20th century, the track exemplifies the crooner's ability to convey deep emotion through subtle phrasing and dynamic control, transforming a complex composition into an accessible yet profound listening experience. The recording captures the essence of the era's popular music, where crooners often collaborated with jazz musicians to create recordings that bridged the gap between mainstream radio appeal and sophisticated musicality. As one of Crosby's most beloved performances, 'Misty' remains a staple in the repertoire of those who appreciate the art of vocal storytelling and the enduring legacy of the Great American Songbook.
