	mister_tmg Also on 78rpm Member since Apr 2012 1118 Points	A friend found the sheet music for this song, and wonders if it was ever recorded. The song was published in Britain and America in 1916: Heart of Mine 45worlds entry Refrain: Heart of Mine! Heart of Mine! In the twilight your voice I hear. Love's pure ray that lights my way, For life's so sweet when you are near. Eyes of Blue, Eyes so true, Softly shining with love Divine; Dream of me, I dream of thee. Heart, Dear Heart of Mine. Words by C.E. Vivian-Kennelly Music by Leo. T. Croke My searches bring up no recordings, which I find odd considering it was published in both the UK and US, although it was in World War I, in the early days of the recording industry. A copy of the sheet music on Preloved says it was "sung with great success by Carmen Navvario"... a complete unknown now it would seem. The sheet music is listed in the Roy Hudd Music Hall collection, so maybe that's the kind of place it was performed? I know that published pop music from the 40s and 50s wasn't always commercially recorded, although I've found it's very much the exception rather than the rule. I don't know how true that is for earlier decades though.
