1939 Broadway
Du Barry Was a Lady the Musical - When Love Beckoned Lyrics

The song is written by Cole Porter.

I used to dream
Of a starlighted stream
Where my man and I would first meet,
So try to surmise
My terrific surprise,
When love beckoned in Fifty Second Street!

Oh, I thought a breeze
Would appear in the trees
And sing something tender and sweet,
But how could it sing
With a band playing swing
When love beckoned in Fifty Second Street?

Now when we want to coo,
Country lanes are taboo,
And old West Fifty Two
Is our favourite beach,
When we're on our beach.

So you can bet
I shall never forget
That mad second,
When I first reckoned
That love beckoned
In Fifty Second Street!

Du Barry Was a Lady the Musical Lyrics

When Love Beckoned
But in the Morning, No!
Do I Love You?
Give Him the Ooh-La-La
Well, Did You Evah!
It Was Written in the Stars
Katie Went to Haiti
Friendship
