OKLAHOMA "People Will Say We're In Love" with lyrics

lyrics here....
Why do they think up stories that link my name with yours
Why do the neighbors gossip all day behind their doors
I know a way to prove what they say is quite untrue
Here is the gist A practical list of "don'ts" fer you
Don't throw bouquets at me Don't please my folks to much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much People will say we're in love
Who laugh at your jokes
Don't sigh and gaze at me Your sighs are so like mine
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine People will say we're in love
Don't start collecting things Like what
Give me my rose and my glove
Sweetheart they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love
Some people claim that you are to blame as much as I
Why do you take the trouble to bake my fav'rite pie
Grantin' your wish I carved our initials on that tree
Just keep a slice of all the advice you give so free
Don't praise my charm too much Don't look so vain with me
Don't stand in the rain with me People will say we're in love
Don't take my arm to much Don't keep your hand in mine
Your hand feels so grand in mine People will say we're in love
Don't dance all night with me 'till the stars fade from above
They'll see it's alright with me People will say we're in love

Gordon MacCrae had the single most beautiful voice I have ever heard. It still puts me away every time. Thank God for this and for Carousel, people will thrill to this forever.

[@JimsJims-ot6ol]

What a beautiful duet between 2 of the very Best voices!

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

The simple truth@@JimsJims-ot6ol

[@tiggywinkle20]

@anotheryou. I totally agree and feel the same. Gordon was a beautiful singer. It is still thrilling and will remain so. Loved him for years and Shirley wonderful too.❤️🙏

"Don't stand in the rain with me..." What a lyric! A complete surprise and yet PERFECT!

[@Chesterton7]

I know, right?

[@terrywright7470]

And for me the best part is the fact that, unlike todays "Songs" you can hear and understand every word that they sing. I am almost 90 years of age, and some of the songs??? that I hear today, make me almost glad that I am going deaf

[@homemadecandy]

My favorite part: when Curly sings "Don't take my arm to much Don't keep your hand in mine" and she tries to pull her hand away and he won't let go, and I don't think his voice could be any more beautiful but then he sings "Your hand feels so grand in mine". So perfectly sublime. His voice and the way he looks at her hand is enough to make any heart melt. This song never gets old for me. No one will ever sing this like Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones.

[@DianaLopezDlo]

[@carrotjuse]

58 years later this still glows. It's an American masterpiece. What great voices they had then. Thanks for posting.

[@terrywright7470]

There are stars who have great voices today too.....The problem is we don`t have songwriters who can write lyrics which make sense , or who have such a limited vocabulary that if they can`t find a rhyming word they put in "Oohs and Ahs" to fill up the space.

[@joannecohen-katz7335]

the problem is tbat belting has replaced legitimate singing

Could anything be more beautiful than these two lovely singers and this song. I am dedicating to the memory of Queen Elizabeth who died yesterday. We know she loved it.

I have only seen this film 50 million times since I was 16. I know every tune, every word. Do I ever get sick of it? No? It's like brand new each time. I fell in love with Gordon for life. Shirley was the prettiest woman I had ever seen.

I think Shirley was only 18 when she made this film. What maturity, beauty and such a voice. Gordon MacRae has one of the best voices ever - so glorious, warm and impressive! And what a handsome man. Beautiful couple!

[@jasont7814]

I think Shirley was 21 and Gordon was 34 (if my math is correct) A bit of an age difference for sure.

[@celissewillis9399]

Apparently she even admitted in an interview back in the day that she had a bit of a crush on him, lol... then they got matched again in Carousel! So those looks on her face of admiration & day dreaming are definitely genuine, lol. So cute! Imagine having a crush on a fellow actor, then you're placed in a movie opposite of him that has a love story involved between you two... I really can't think of anything more romantic, than being able to sing with someone that you're in your feels about, even as a crush!

[@GreatGazukes]

I don't exactly know why, but whenever I see Shirley Jones in something, I just instantly smile. Beautiful lady, beautiful voice, beautiful presence :)

[@user-xv5xt3hm2t]

Cuz she is Mom Partridge

[@terrywright7470]

Gordon McRae and Shirley Jones together, two beautiful people with fabulous voices, perfectly matched. This stands right up there alonside Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh as one of the most perfect on screen couples. I am old now, but I saw this film way back when it first came out and it STILL brings a tear to my eyes.

Enchantingly sung by two beautiful and talented people.

My girlfriend and I kept our relationship a secret for awhile when we first got together, it was a constant struggle not to be all cutesy and people constantly commented on how we looked at each other. I heard this on the radio and showed it to her, and we laughed at how accurate it was at every line, decided this was our song, and now we quote it whenever we gotta say goodbye.

[@jackgedzelman5314]

Richard Rogers said that it was easier for him to write a song than to tie his shoes. This song is pure rapture. The lyrics are equally marvelous.. At age 65 in 2013, I listen sadly to this music as if it is a museum piece reflecting a world of rapture and romance that no longer exists. The new generation does not even begin to know what they are missing. This song says everything worth saying about life and if we would accept it as reality greater than the one we live in, we would be joyful

[@miltonmoore5294]

Johannes Brahms once said that tunes came to him while he was brushing shoes.

[@SchMasHed]

Rest assured my friend, the love still exists, it's just harder to find buried in all the superficial, and yet all the more beautiful because of it's resilience.

[@ivelosthewilltolive]

Oscar Hammerstein said, you can't have characters sing "I love you" in the first act of a musical because the audience isn't ready to hear that yet. So they have to approach it indirectly, like People WILL SAY we're in love, or IF I loved you, or We could make believe I loved you.

[@miltonmoore5294]

Cogent point.

[@davidsmith172]

So many of Rogers and Hammerstein's scores share this shy love

[@suzannequinson8439]

Three of my all time favorite songs! People Will Say being my number 1.

[@paulrandall9705]

How true, what you have to say about Hammerstein’s ‘conditional’ songs. I guess they also empower the audience by allowing / encouraging us to know what the characters seem unwilling to acknowledge.

[@kmgirl1967]

[@MaureenMaynes]

Gordon Macrae and Shirley are the perfect partnership. They are both stunning to watch and Gordon's strong baritone voice and Shirley's light soprano sound wonderful together. It's no wonder it helped a beautiful young princess fall in live with her handsome princess:)

[@johnmorgan875]

This is the best version of this many-covered song, from the best version of Oklahoma! The beauty of Shirley's well-trained coloratura soprano shines throughout and Gordon's strong baritone is a perfect complement, as it proved to be with many talented partners, from the relatively brittle voice of Doris Day to the perfect pitch of Jo Stafford.

[@missdee4927]

[@simplyblues1]

It's just the passing of time but I imagine you mean Oklahoma! Carousel and The Music Man. Some of us still remember and I'd never argue with you over those three movies. Shirley had such a beautiful voice and as for Gordon MacRae, I think he was Hollywood's finest male actor/singer ever, but rock n' roll and TV killed all their movie careers. Such a shame as Shirley and Gordon had just hit their stride, but we still have these classic films thank goodness.

Shirley Jones is the epitome of class, beauty and talent! We put this show (Oklahoma) on in my elementary school years in the late 1960s, then in 1970 Shirley Jones was cast as Mrs. Partridge in The Partridge Family, one of the best television shows which combined a situation comedy with pop music imo. Loved tuning in to see the Shirley Jones, David Cassidy and the rest singing great pop tunes every week!! The music of today doesn't even begin to compare to the great music of yesteryear.

[@megan8360]

This is my favorite film, probably of all time! Gordon MacRae was, and still is one of the best singers we've ever heard. I can't believe that lots of people from my generation haven't even heard of Gordon MacRae, or even this film! Yet they will happily watch the crap we have to endure, eg high school musical, hannah montana etc. THIS is what you call a musical! :)

[@FlexibleFlyer50]

I saw this musical in high school (sophomore year). I had never gone to any stage productions, and I was moved by the students' singing, the high school band, the sets, and everything about the musical. The music and lyrics remained with me for years. The work the students and their faculty advisor did to make that musical happen was absolutely amazing. That performance opened a whole new world for me of the theatre, of musicals, of taking music lessons, and of appreciating the power of performance.

Olive Lane I live in England with my husband and 2 teenage sons. My husband and I are ex Royal Opera singers, and are going to sing this duet in a local concert. My husband will sing Oh what a beautiful morning, and I will sing Falling in love with love from the boys from Syracuse. We have decided this music is so wonderful, better for the audience than opera. My dad who was buried 2 years ago today used to sing oh what a beautiful morning.... I miss him so much. Good luck to you 😊

They had great chemistry. I think in real life they were in love.

@@acegikm Shirley Jones said that when she first came to Hollywood he was just about the only man who didn't make a pass or come on to her. Cementing their friendship for many years to come. Cute story- Richard Rodgers did try to get fresh. She deflected him by saying 'Why Mr. Rodgers, you're just like my father'!

He really had a beautiful voice!

@chuckteamster You are so correct! This is among the best music ever written. The lyrical ingenuity and compositional quality is something we never see in current music.

[@ernestbennett1941]

Do young people of the present era ever listen to such perfection?!

Just saying, I'm a teenager, and I love all of this music. :)

This is a complicated song made legend by such talent of McRae and Jones.

What a wonderful & lovely voice Shirley Jones had! I love the way she hold her notes. She was singing with an orchestra for years after this film. She's probably a bit of an underrated singer. Gordon MacRae also had a wonderful way of sustaining his voice. It was really singing, almost classical style. I love it!
