How High The Moon - Les Paul & Mary Ford

Thursday, September 3, 2009 ·

Billboard Magazine's #1 Single Apr. 21 - June 22

Les Paul was also an inventor, and he played a major role in the development of electrical instruments and recording techniques. In 1941 he invented the first solid electrical guitar, that is without the sound hole in the body of the guitar. That way he could avoid resonance. He was also a pioneer in using and developing reverbs (echo effects) and multitrack recording. Mary Ford, who was not only his co-artist but also his wife, is said to be one of the first persons to have been part-singing with herself.





Lyrics:

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you

Somewhere there's music
How near, how far
Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

[Guitar Solo]

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
