If I could be with you . . .


Every time a fragment of the song "If I Could Be With You" was used for a dramatic moment, I had to giggle.

I don't think the song lends itself to that use in any case -- it's such a cheery tune. But it's even harder to hear "drama-ed up" for someone like me, who has seen Mr. Roberts so many times!

I felt the same way. What does this song have to do with anything else on the screen? Nothing that I can tell. A reference to her yearning to be with fielding? Silly. But definitely funny.
