Il Tango della Seduzione, Orchestra Dobbri, Berlin, 1928​

"You don't have to call love" From the movie "My Love" 1940


You don't have to call for love, it'll show up unexpectedly,
And happiness will blossom all around.
He'll come one day, tender and welcome,
A true friend
You'll see him with a look in your eye
You'll pass the day like a dream
At night only to your pillow, your girlish friend,
♪ You'll tell your dreams ♪

Chorus:

If it's not like this
If things are different
If the night is full with flowers
If the dream is running,
If the heart cries
Crying grateful tears
If the whole world
If the world is too small for the heart
If the air is full of songs
If when you part
You're looking to meet again,
Then you're here
My love!

Spin A Little Web Of Dream - Freddy Martin 1934 - Design For Dreaming​

The music is great, but watching the video sequence (obviously from the 1950s) makes me want to shout: "Please, invent rock n' roll already!"
