Maurice Chevalier's 1930 introduction of the Fain-Kahal-Norman classic... "You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me" is a 1930 popular song. The credits list music and lyrics as written by Sammy Fain, Irving Kahal, and Pierre Norman. Since Fain was primarily a musicwriter and Kahal a lyricist, it may be assumed that the music was by Fain and lyrics were by Kahal, with Norman's contribution uncertain. The song was introduced in the movie The Big Pond (1930) by Maurice Chevalier. The song has been used in other movies, including Monkey Business (1931) where the Marx Brothers steal Chevalier's passport and sing this song to try to prove they are Chevalier. The song is a well-known standard, recorded by many artists, though Chevalier's and Frank Sinatra's versions are best known. YOU'VE BROUGHT A NEW KIND OF LOVE TO ME Sweet one, fairer than the flowers, Never will I meet one sweeter than you. Would you turn away or could you Really learn to care if I ever dare To say "I love you"? If the nightingales could sing like you They'd sing much sweeter than they do For you brought a new kind of love to me If the sandman brought me dreams of you I'd want to sleep my whole life through For you brought a new love to me I know that you're the queen, and I'm the slave And yet you will understand That underneath it all You're a maid and I am only a man I would work and slave the whole day through If I could hurry home to you For you brought a new kind of love to me...
