There's A Small Hotel
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there together
There's a bridal suite
One room bright and neat
Complete for us to share together
Looking through the window
You can see that distant steeple
Not a sign of people, who wants people?
When the steeple bell says,
"Good night, sleep well,"
We'll thank the small hotel together
And when the steeple bell says,
"Good night, sleep well,"
We'll thank the small hotel together
There's A Small Hotel
Bing Crosby's 1941 recording of 'There's A Small Hotel' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery of the romantic ballad. Delivered with his signature warm, intimate vocal style, the track captures the quiet intimacy of a lover's retreat, a theme central to Crosby's interpretation of standards during the early 1940s. The song reflects the era's preference for acoustic-driven storytelling and emotional vulnerability, showcasing Crosby's ability to convey deep feeling through subtle phrasing rather than dramatic embellishment. As part of his extensive discography of love songs, this recording exemplifies the gentle, reassuring tone that defined his career and cemented his status as a leading figure in American popular music of the mid-20th century.
