Beautiful song???
So atmospheric? when you think about all the people who didn’t return from the war?
NICE!
Now is the hour
For me to say goodbye
Soon I'll be sailing
Far across the sea
While I'm away
Oh please remember me
When I return
I'll find you waiting here
Now is the hour
For me to say goodbye
Soon I'll be sailing
Far across the sea
While I'm away
Oh please remember me
When I return
I'll find you waiting here
While I'm away
Oh please remember me
When I return
I'll find you waiting here...

She was wonderful
This record was No. 1 when I was born
My mum's song, Annie Morrison Mackintosh Mitchell,. Lost her 52 years age but always young too me
Is anyone still alive from that era?
It reminds me when i was going over sea's while in the British Army and leaving my lady friend's xxxx to them all Dave.
my Mom always whistled and sang this beautiful song she sang it as a 4 year old child in 1947 when she had pneumonia and was being taken to hospital by ambulance apparently she had a

Too young to have participated in WWII, I encountered Fields' version of Now Is the Hour while in the US Navy when my country was indulging in adventurism on the Korean Peninsula. Alas, a sad, misbegotten undertaking that cost many lives, much money and, in future, any claim to moral authority in matters of international relations. -- Jack
our lads sang this going over the English channel , so with luck they'ed see old England and loveones hopeing to be in their mams and familys and sweethearts arms with a tear rolling down their cheeks . my granpa and great nana 1939-1945 granpa said this has song was playing Lawrence taylor green howards , a miss em so much godbless your loving grandson paul xxx
...According to what I read both on Wikipedia and elsewhere , y'all/youse guys :-) , the song was European-originated both lyrically andmusically but did acquire popularity among the Maori people and a set of Maori lyrics later .
The biggest US hit was mega-star Der Bingle (Okay :-) ~ Bing Crosby)'s cover version , but I think , listening now , I do like " Our Gracie "'s version better ! :-)

So, true, and sad. So many never were to return........Hearts and love was but for a moment in time..............
I loved this song..never heard this sweet lament till now..I can only imagine how many people this song "meant the world to" many years back. Thank God we can still hear some of the old "chesnuts"
I read from some of the older comments that this was originally a Maori song called 'Po Atarau'. Of course I found it on Yt. So far the best version IMO is from Hayley Westenra. Of course there are other versions and some apparently performed by New Zealanders. Don't you just love the things you can learn from Yt?
Gracie did a 1958 version on the Patti Page show lovely orchestration, so take a look it is on you tube. The original one was on London/Decca as you say. Thanks for your comment.
This is a New Zealand folk song. Gracie Fields first heard it when visiting NZ in WW2.
As dar as I remember, my family had the sheet music, and it was "Haere Ra"
A truly beautiful voice.
Thank you for that information its most welcome.......
Oh, yes, gf: wonderful memories of childhood. Thanks!
I too love this version by Gracie, the original and the best.
The original song is Maori; it's called "Po Atarau"!
