I'll be with you to change your name to mine.
One day in May I'll come and say
Happy the bride the sun shines on today.
What a wonderful wedding there will be.
What a wonderful day for you and me.
Church bells will chime;
You will be mine,
In apple blossom time.
Words by Neville Fleeson
Music by Albert Von Tilzer
Recorded by Charles Harrison, tenor, in June 1920
Somehow or another, the words to "I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time" started running through my head while I was photographing in the orchard last week. I found the National Jukebox on the Library of Congress website and there was a vintage (but digital!) version of the RCA Victor recording of this song.
First recorded on June 3, 1920 (almost a year before my mother and father were born!), this song has been recorded by singers like Della Reese, the Andrews sisters, Barry Manilow, Tab Hunter, and lots of other artists.
The camera looks into the soul of the apple blossom and captures a moment. The lyricist and composer bring that moment into music. What a wonderful way to capture apple blossom time.
