LOST LYRICS to FAMOUS TV THEMES


TV THEME LYRICS LOST IN TIME

I was posting my Scarlett O'Hara Martini for St. Patrick's Day when I stumbled on the fact that the title song for Gone With The Wind - Tara's Theme, had lyrics, something that I was unaware of until today.  This is not the first time I've discovered some lost lyrics for some themes and tunes we're all familiar with.
