It was recorded by Mario Lanza (who starred in the film) and Nat King Cole in two different versions, which were both released as singles in 1952. In the USA. Lanza's record reached no. 7 in the Billboard charts and Nat King Cole's version achieved the No. 16 position. The Mario Lanza recording also reached Number 3 in the UK Singles Chart, spending 24 weeks within the top 12, and was Lanza's only UK Top 12 hit. The Nat King Cole recording was included on his album Top Pops, placed three spots lower and spent only 3 weeks on the chart. The Mario Lanza recording was one of his three million selling singles.

Because, you come to me, 
With naught save love, 
And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above, 
A wider world of hope and joy I see, 
Because you come to me! 

Because you speak to me in accent sweet, 
I find the roses waking 'round my feet, 
And I am led through tears and joy to thee, 
Because you speak to me! 

Because God made thee mine, 
I'll cherish thee, 
Through light and darkness through all time to be, 
And pray His love may make our love divine, 
Because God made thee mine!
