"The Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart?)"
Your lips may be here but where is your heart
It's always like this I worry and wonder
You're close to me here but where is your heart
It's a sad thing to realize that you've a heart that never melts
When we kiss do you close your eyes pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell this cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell darling where is your heart
It's a sad thing to realize that you've a heart that never melts
When we kiss do you close your eyes pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell this cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell darling where is your heart
The music was written by Georges Auric.
The original French lyrics were by Jacques Larue, the English words by William Engvick.
However, in the film the song is called "It's April Again", and there is no mention of the phrase
"Where Is Your Heart".
In Moulin Rouge, the theme song was sung by Muriel Smith,
dubbing for Zsa Zsa Gabor who lip-synched to Smith's singing.
The most popular version of the song was made by Percy Faith's Orchestra,
with a vocal by Felicia Sanders. The recording by Faith and Sanders was made on January 22, 1953.
In the United Kingdom, the version by Mantovani was the biggest hit,
on which recording the plaintive accordion theme was played by Henry Krein on May 16, 1953.
Both Faith's and Mantovani's versions sold over a million copies.
A recording by Henri René and His Orchestra was made at Manhattan Center, New York City,
on March 20, 1953.
