Love Is Just Around the Corner

"Love Is Just Around the Corner" is a popular song with music by Lewis E. Gensler and lyrics by Leo Robin, published in 1934.[1]

Although it was sung by Bing Crosby in the film Here is My Heart, which was released on December 28, 1934, Cliff Edwards (AKA Ukulele Ike) released a recording on October 19 of that year on the Perfect and Banner labels.[2]

Crosby himself released the song on November 9, 1934, with Georgie Stoll and his Orchestra[3] for Decca Records, which reached No. 8 position in the US charts.[4] He recorded the song again in 1954 for his album Bing: A Musical Autobiography.

The song was also recorded in 1935 by Robert Cummings for the film Millions in the Air, released on December 12 of that year. It became a standard, recorded by other many artists over the decades.
