Diane (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diane was a popular single by Irish band The Bachelors released on the Decca label. It reached Number 1 in the UK charts and number 10 in the US charts in 1964. The song title is sometimes mistakenly referred to as 'My Diane'.

The song was originally written as a theme song for the 1927 classic silent movie Seventh Heaven, by Erno Rapee & Lew Pollack.

Jim Reeves also covered the song in the 1950s.

[edit] Lyrics

I'm in heaven when I see you smile;
Smile for me, my Diane.

And though ev'rything's dark all the while
I can see you, Diane.

You have lighted the road leading home;
Pray for me when you can.

But no matter wherever I roam,
Smile for me, my Diane.

(Last time)

Smile for me, my Diane.
