This is why I remember the song so well, Billie!
Amazon.com
From radio star to wartime inspiration, the life of singer Jane Froman (the incomparable Susan Hayward) was made for the silver screen. The opening titles proclaim it “The story of a girl and the story of a voice. The girl is Jane Froman, the voice is her own” (Froman provided Hayward’s vocals). Born in Missouri, the contralto finds fame in Cincinnati before conquering Chicago, New York—and songwriter Don Ross (David Wayne), her first husband. When her plane crashes en route to a USO engagement, Froman risks losing her legs, and fears she’ll never perform again. In the hospital, she bonds with Pilot John Burn (Rory Calhoun) and wise-cracking nurse Clancy (All About Eve’s Thelma Ritter). In the process, she falls for Burn and returns to the stage. With a Song in My Heart follows the basic biopic template—rise, fall, and resurrection—but Technicolor maestro Walter Lang (The King and I) throws in a few surprises, like narration by the supporting cast and an appearance by a handsome young Robert Wagner as a shell-shocked paratrooper. He also showcases an array of glittering gowns and a myriad of musical numbers, including Rodgers and Hart’s stirring title track. Two featurettes and an interview with Burn reveal that Froman’s life was even more difficult than that of her fictional counterpart. Though she marks an exception among Hayward’s edgy on-screen personas—notably her Academy Award-winning convict in I Want to Live!—the auburn-haired actress invests the vocalist with innate decency and persuasive talent. —Kathleen C.

In an effort to get people to look into each other's eyes more, and also to appease the mutes, the government has decided to allot each person exactly one hundred and sixty-seven words, per day.
When the phone rings, I put it to my ear without saying hello. In the restaurant I point at chicken noodle soup. I am adjusting well to the new way.
Late at night, I call my long distance lover, proudly say I only used fifty-nine today. I saved the rest for you.
When she doesn't respond, I know she's used up all her words, so I slowly whisper I love you thirty-two and a third times. After that, we just sit on the line and listen to each other breathe.

RAINBOW TREASURE
I have found the treasure
That lies at the Rainbow's end;
Wealth beyond computing
Is mine to give or lend.
Opals of an April dawn,
Gold of a shimmering noon,
Amethysts of the sunset,
Pearls with the glow of the moon.
Would you like to share it?
There's more than enough for all
In my Iris Garden
Against a grey stone wall.

A TEA PARTY
The table is set and everything’s ready.
My doll can sit over there next to teddy.
I invited two others to join us for tea,
but I guess it will have to be just us three.
I'll pour the tea and you serve the cake;
this is the one that Mom helped me bake.
It's time to clean up and put things away.
I'm so glad we could all get together today.
I really enjoyed it - I hope you did too.
Having tea parties is a fun thing to do.
