American Standard: My Blue Heaven | James Taylor
“My Blue Heaven” was first used in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1927. The Ziegfeld Follies was a series of elaborate theatrical revue productions on Broadway from 1907 to1931. In 1928, "My Blue Heaven" became a huge hit for crooner Gene Austin. It charted for 26 weeks, including 13 weeks at #1, and sold over five million copies becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time.
Written by Walter Donaldson / George A. Whiting in 1924

It takes an extraordinary artist to re-imagine some of the most beloved songs of the 20th century and make them completely their own. Unlike most who have tackled similar material, American Standard’s beautifully simple, stripped-down arrangements are based on the 2-guitar collaboration of James Taylor and John Pizzarelli, rather than standard piano arrangements. James was determined to keep that sound at the center of the project, and the effect is mesmerizing.
LYRICS
Day is ending, songbirds are wending
Back to the shelter of each little nest they love
Nightshades falling, lovebirds are calling
What makes this world go ‘round?
Nothing but love
When whippoorwills cry and evening is nigh
I hurry to my blue heaven
I turn to the right a little white light
That leads me to my blue heaven
You’ll see a smiling face a fireplace, a cozy room
A little love nest nestled where the roses bloom
Just Molly and me and baby makes three
We're happy in my blue heaven
You’ll see a smiling face a fireplace, a cozy room
Just a little love nest nestled where the roses bloom
Just Molly and me and baby makes three
We're happy in my blue heaven
My blue heaven
