About You're Nearer

"You're Nearer" is an American popular song by composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Lorenz Hart (Rodgers and Hart) from the 1940 film version of the Broadway musical Too Many Girls. It was not in the original Broadway show but was written especially for the movie and copyrighted on August 29, 1940. In the film, it was sung by Lucille Ball (dubbed by Trudy Erwin) and also by Frances Langford with Ann Miller, Libby Bennett and Lucille Ball (again dubbed by Trudy Erwin). Plans to include the song in the 1948 feature Words and Music with a recording by Perry Como was ultimately cut from the film. Como's version eventually appeared amongst the outtakes included on a 2007 DVD release. The song has been recorded by a plethora of artists. more »

Nearer, than the winter to the fall is.

You're nearer, for i love you so!
