I'm getting ready for love
I can feel
This time it's real
I'm under your spell
Of that I'm sure
You can tell
Sailin' along on a breeze
Ooh, I'm flying
Ooh, I'm skying...

If only they had went with the first two scripts which were gritty and not the draft that Diana/Berry choose which makes Billie into a drug taking Fanny Brice...complete with "My Man" at the end...
Still, Diana is breathtaking and this should have let to even better things - instead - it led nowhere..
Remember what Liza said after she won that same year:
"I think this should have gone to Diana!"

I just bought this tonight. 
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
