Song: One More Walk Around The Garden
T'smith: Burton lane
W'smith: Jay Lerner
Source: Forgotten Broadway show, Carmelina (1979).
Versions that I know: 1. Original cast. 2. Sarah Brightman
My preference: 1. Several chaps sing it, full of verve, and could, I think, survive singing it, unplugged even, in a workingmen's club. Sometimes not being 'divine' like Sarah is actually believably human, a far better thing.
Jay Lerner's lyrics are available at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~josvg/cits/sb/sb1005.html
On this page, there's a note by Lyle Fletcher, who comments on the Julie Andrews version, which he prefers, a comment interesting because though I think Julie, at any stage of her career was not 'the great voice' but rather the great and warm - yes human - talent.
