When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho’ your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Carousel was Richard Rodger's favorite score.
Irving Berlin compared it to the 23rd Psalm
When Mel Torme heard it at the back of the theater one night, he remarked to Richard Rodgers that it made him cry. Rodgers impatiently answered "It's supposed to".
