- “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

Today I was driving in my car and fire and rain came on the radio and I just started to cry. Once the song was over, I pulled over and played You've got a Friend on my phone and cried harder. It felt really good to cry. Haven't been able to do it in a long time.
Thank you for the music.
....I dropped a tear listening to this song and reading your comment.
Great songs.
My dad used to sing this, and taught it to me. He filled our house with his beautiful voice, and led me to become the singer I am today. Thanks for sparking a lovely memory.

Just love you. Ever since my uncle played your album when I was younger.
This, in a nut shell, is why I've loved JT since about 1969.
Congratulations on your GRAMMY in the category Traditional Pop Vocal Album for 'American Standard'. After a lifetime of songs & performances that have become part of our collective memory, you are truly an American standard yourself. Kudos. ☯️ ☮&💜
I love this album.
Oh my heart ♡
Grew up singing this as a kid. 😄
Any time…anywhere. James goes with everything! ♥️
I Love James Taylor!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it ❤and the video ❤💜⚘🍦⚘💚❤
Just wanna dance...love it!
One of my all time favourites! He just keeps goin'.......
James, you nailed it!
I was only seven years old then (PHILIPPINES) I was listening to you, until now, When I heard you were going to a concert here (Montreal) I immediately bought a ticket because I wanted to see and hear your voice not on the tape cassette, not on the you tube this time. I hope this pandemic will disappears but I still hope to see you and hear "THE LEGEND OF MUSICAL INDUSTRY".
Love whatever you do, my daughter (who is now 21) proudly announced to her Kindergarten class that James Taylor was her mother’s boyfriend! As an older mother, your music certainly played a part in her creation ;)!!
Ok, people really don’t need to know that...that’s a bit of an “overshare”.
That’s so sweet and I’m glad to hear it. Some people need to open up and enjoy the great vibes and all the stories of our lives!
Lovely Blue Heaven, James! Thank you so much for this new album I'm enjoying a lot! Greetings from Spain. We're looking forward to seeing you here as soon as possible.
Awesome version of *"My Blue Heaven".*
Quê voz maravilhosa 💞!meu lindo e adorado rapaz!🌻❤️💙❤️🌻💖💋💖💋💖💋💖💋💖💋💖💋💖💋💖💋💖💋💖💋💖
My mother used to dance with me to this song when I was a small child.
There you go again. Thanks for the lift.

I’d give an eye tooth for a songbook with all these changes.
So, so, so good!

Is it okay if I am still in love with you? Saying thank you for all your recordings & performances and creativity and love and honesty seems shallow but still, I thank you. And I am still in love with you. Started at 6. xoxo

Mr. Taylor, I'm not sure if you have heard of Choir!Choir!Choir! but it is a group in Toronto that covers people like you (and they have). I know your schedule is packed, but it would amazing if you could collaborate with them.
wish mine had

When will the tab/chord charts be available for these wonderful songs?
"My Blue Heaven"
Gene Austin's hit recording 1924 written by Whiting
Here are the original lyrics (courtesy of Wikipedia)
When whippoorwill calls
And evening is nigh
I hurry to my blue heaven
I turn to the right
A little white light
Will lead you to my blue heaven
Why blue, though?
The original lyric is “ when whippoorwills call”. Not cry
So?
This isn't pop.
The category was "Best Pop / Traditional Vocal Album." This is traditional.
