Cole Porter – I Concentrate On You lyrics
Whenever skies look gray to me and
Trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds become too strong
I concentrate on you

When fortune cries "Nay, nay" to me
And people declare "You're through"
Whenever the blues become my only songs
I concentrate on you

On your smile, so sweet, so tender

When at first my kiss you do decline
On the light in your eyes when you surrender
And once again our arms intertwine

And so when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true
To prove that even the wise men can be wrong
I concentrate on you

    This song is lovely and sad, but most of all I think it is a specific reflection of the historical period in which the movie "Broadway Melody of 1940" was shot. In 1940, the Germans were pouring into Paris, and the rest of Europe. In Asia, the Japanese were equally agressive. Countless refugees were either freshly arrived in American, or wishing they could be. Cole Porter was a sophisticated and well educated man, who would have been acutely aware of the tragedy of life beyond America's shores. I believe this song, in addition to being a beautiful love song, is an emotionally persuasive comment on this tragic world. As such, it is both timeless and specific. And incredibly powerful, even in June of 2021.
