It was composed by Charlie Chaplin as the instrumental theme for his 1967 film A Countess from Hong Kong, which starred Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren. When he added lyrics, he decided to offer the song to Al Jolson to record, unaware that the entertainer had long been deceased. Finally convinced of the fact only after seeing a photograph of Jolson's tomb, Chaplin presented it instead to his neighbor in Switzerland, Petula Clark.


Clark recorded it in French, Italian, and German, but found the English lyrics to be insipid and overly sentimental (indeed, it sounds like something a singer like Vera Lynn might have sung twenty years earlier), and only after considerable pressure did she agree to release it in English as well. Despite Clark's misgivings, "This is My Song" became an immediate international best-seller: in her native UK, she topped the charts for the first time in six years, in Canada the French and English versions occupied the #1 and #2 slots, and it was a huge hit in the USA, the Netherlands, Australia, and Rhodesia. To this day, Clark includes the song - usually in a mix of English and French - in her concert repertoire.

Lyrics for: This Is My Song

Why is my heart so light?
Why are the stars so bright?
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you?

Flowers are smiling bright,
Smiling for our delight,
Smiling so tenderly
For all the world, you and me

I know why the world is smiling,
Smiling so tenderly
It hears the same old story
Through all eternity

Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world, there is you

I care not what the world may say
Without your love, there is no day
So, love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

I care not what the world may say
Without your love, there is no day
So, love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
