Something Grand - Lyrics - Victory At Sea
Victory at Sea is a documentary television series about warfare in general during World War II, and naval warfare in particular, as well as the use of industry in warfare. It was originally broadcast by NBC in the USA in 1952â1953. It was condensed into a film in 1954. Excerpts from the music soundtrack, by Richard Rodgers and Robert Russell Bennett, were re-recorded and sold as record albums. The original TV broadcasts comprised 26 half-hour segmentsâSunday afternoons at 3pm in most marketsâstarting on October 26, 1952 and ending on May 3, 1953. The series, which won an Emmy award in 1954 as "best public affairs program", played an important part in establishing historic "compilation" documentaries as a viable television genre.

A long, long time
Between our hands
Has passed
And I'm still waiting
Underneath the edge of something grand.
For you to come back, my baby,
And I will name you Mary.
Underneath the edge of something grand.
Ta dah!
Underneath the edge of something grand.
I guess this year,
It's been alright.
If I could tell you something,
I'd be underneath the edge of something grand.
The sun through clouds
Used to be good.
Now it's the sun just shining
Underneath the edge of something grand.
Ta dah!
Underneath the edge of something grand.
