Julie London - Gone With The Wind (Liberty Records 1955)

"Gone with the Wind" is a popular song. The music was written by Allie Wrubel, the lyrics by Herb Magidson. The song was published in 1937. A version recorded by Horace Heidt was a #1 song in 1937. Diane E. Holloway, who has written extensively on American popular songs, indicates that the title was inspired by the 1936 publication of the novel Gone with the Wind, and the timing indicates that this is likely. But the lyrics have no connection to the subject matter of the novel, and this song should not be confused with any of the music featured in the 1939 film adaptation.

Julie's accompanied by Ray Leatherwood (bass), and Barney Kessel (guitar).

Gone with the wind
Gone like a leaf that has blown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown away

Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips
I had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips

But now all is gone
Gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart
Gone with the wind
Gone is the gladness that filled my heart

Just like a flame, love burned brightly
Then became an empty smoke dream that has gone,
Gone with the wind

Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
