I heard an incredible version of this song by Patti Austin then I heard this version. Are you serious - this women is amazing! One of the greatest voices America gave the world.
The standard she sets here is just incredible - the emotion, phrasing, etc. I wish the show had run 2 or 3 years - no doubt she would avoided the traps that started her decline. She just superb here.
I adore Walter Huston's classic version of this marvelous song, but I will admit that Judy Garland's voice and reading of the lyrics brought tears to my eyes. So heartfelt. I'd forgotten how amazing she was. So sad.
It's a lovely surprise to discover this, after only knowing Frank Sinatra's version with Nelson Riddle's orchestral arrangement. Judy is absolutely right -- the lyrics are plenty powerful. She does the song an enormous favor by giving it her heartfelt interpretation. Come to think of it, she has a way of doing that with anything she touches.
Beautiful. The second most beautiful song of the 20th Century (after September Song, lyric also by Maxwell Anderson), music by the century's finest composer, Kurt Weill.
+Nacho Mamma Hi Nacho! I'm interested in knowing more about your acapella version because I have an acapella account where I focus on jazz covers. I recently did a cover of this and would love to hear your criticisms/feedback because I struggled a bit with it! Cheers soundcloud.com/jazzcapella/lost-in-the-stars
NOT THAT WE NEED READING THE LYRICS FOR ANY OF JUDY'S PERFORMANCES. Before Lord God made the Sea and the Land He held all the stars in the palm of his hand And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand And one little star fell alone. And the Lord God hunted through the wide night air For the little dark star in the wind down there And he stated and promised He'd take special care So it wouldn't get lost again. Now man don't mind if the stars grow dim And the clouds blow over and darken him So long as the Lord God's watching over him Keeping track how it all goes on~ But I've been walking through the night, and the day Till my eyes get weary and my head turns grey And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away Forgetting the promise that we've heard him say And we're lost out here in the stars: Little stars, big stars Glowing through the night And we're lost out here in the stars. Little stars, big stars Blowing through the night. And we're lost out here in the stars...

Us 'young timers' love it to and it is great that these are here for new generations to discover
pure. open. heart. genius.
Darling, Judy...I wish that you could've lived until your hair turned grey...
"williamtalmanfan",
Your comment, "wish Judy could have lived til her head turned gray", took my breath away.......such a tragic loss.
Oh my goodness...Judy is the best for this song...what a performance...WOW, says it all!
Judy, we love you and miss you. Thank you.

Noe Berengena,
You're so right!! God bless Judy Garland..
You must hear Tony Bennett's recording of this, too, from his mid-'50s album, "TONY".😉
Try Sammy Davis Jr's version, it'also amazing.
Lost in the Stars Somewhere over the Rainbow...isn't it amazing !
Heartbreaking.
Stunning!
What a great interpretation of these beautiful lyrics!
I am truly grateful for you and others posting these old videos for us old-timers to reflect back on the "good old days".
my Favorite show
Beautiful. The second most beautiful song of the 20th Century (after September Song, lyric also by Maxwell Anderson), music by the century's finest composer, Kurt Weill.
I agree on both counts, though I'd put "It Never Was You" in #1 spot
I could not agree more. Well said.
aie c'est seulement l'absolue perfection! Mieux c'est impossible, y'a tout!
I love Judy, and simply love this beautiful song. I used to sing this with an accapella quartet several years ago. Such beautiful lyrics.

Before Lord God made the Sea and the Land
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand
And one little star fell alone.
And the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star in the wind down there
And he stated and promised
He'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost again.
Now man don't mind if the stars grow dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him
So long as the Lord God's watching over him
Keeping track how it all goes on~
But I've been walking through the night, and the day
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns grey
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away
Forgetting the promise that we've heard him say
And we're lost out here in the stars:
Little stars, big stars
Glowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars.
Little stars, big stars
Blowing through the night.
And we're lost out here in the stars...
of course this song is an indictment of racism.
tony bennett sings it heart felt.
