You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me
(Sammy Fain)
You Brought a
New Kind of Love to Me
by Sammy Fain
“ You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me ” is a 1930 popular song. The credits list music and lyrics as written by Sammy Fain, Irving Kahal, and Pierre Norman. Since Fain was primarily a music writer and Kahal a lyricist, it may be assumed that the music was by Fain and lyrics were by Kahal, with Norman’s contribution uncertain. The song was introduced in the movie The Big Pond (1930) by Maurice Chevalier who also made a successful recording of it the same year. Other hit recordings in 1930 were by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra (with a vocal by Bing Crosby), and the High Hatters. It is also featured in Frank Sinatra’s 1956 album Songs for Swingin’ Lovers!.
Lyrics
You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me
If the nightingales could sing like you
They’d sing much sweeter than they do
For you brought a new kind of love to me
And if the sandman brought me dreams of you
I’d want to sleep my whole life through
You brought a new love to me
I know that I’m the slave, you’re the queen
Still you can understand that underneath it all
You’re a maid and I am only a man
I would work and slave the whole day through
If I could hurry home to you
You brought a new kind of love to me
I’m hit that I’m the slave, you’re the queen
Still you might understand that underneath it all
You’re a maid and I am only a man
I would work and slave my whole life through
If I could hurry home to you
You brought a new kind of love to me
Songwriters: Fain Sammy / Kahal Irving / Norman Pierre
