Mario Lanza's voice, combined with photos of Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour from the movie "Somewhere in Time", combine to form a lovely musical and visual treat.

Mario Lanza sings "Yours is My Heart Alone" with incredible beauty and sensitivity. Long may his legacy live through his movies, his many recordings, videos on YouTube and through other media outlets. His voice may never be equaled. Hedda Hopper, well-known gossip columnist, believed that "There had never been anyone like Mario, and I doubt whether we shall ever see his like again."

"Yours is My Heart Alone" ("Dein ist mein ganzes Herz") is a show tune from the operetta "The Land of Smiles" (Das Land des Lächelns - 1929). Franz Lehar wrote the music and the original German lyrics were written by Ludwig Herzer and Fritz Löhner. The English lyrics were written by Harry B. Smith.

The English lyrics are:

Yours is my heart alone
And without you life holds no charm
Yours, every thought I own
Our love the theme of every dream

Love that makes life seem worthwhile
Dwells in your eyes and the spell of your smile
There is no song half so sweet to me
As your voice whispering, "I love you, Dear"

When far away or near you
In dreams I see and hear you
And yielding to your fascination
I kneel to you in adoration dear, you alone

My queen shall reign and my heart you enchain
All day I sigh for you and I dream on the night
I live or die for you, my adored vision bright
