This song is on my mind tonight, enjoy.
In 1952 Mario Lanza had a fight with MGM and was dropped from The Student Prince prior to shooting. He was replaced by Edmond Purdom, who lip synched the musical soundtrack Lanza had already laid down. Mario Lanza did all the songs in the studio in one take. This song was one of three written for the movie. Prince Karl is sent away to school because the princess picked to marry him has no use for his personality and lack of social skills. Karl adapts well to his new surroundings and friends and falls in love with a barmaid. When the King dies suddenly, Prince Karl is summoned home to take up his responsibilities. This is sung before the coffin of the king in the cathedral as the prince accepts his fate.
