youŽll never walk alone = a history

You'll Never Walk Alone - The Story of the most famous song in Football

*  The Rogers & Hammerstein song was originally written for the 1945 musical Carousel.
*  Frank Sinatra was the first artist to take this song into the charts (#9 on the Billboard charts in 1945).
*  In the original musical Carousel, the song was sung to inspire a pregnant female character after the death of  her husband.
*  The Pink Floyd song Fearless ends by fading into a recording of Liverpool Football Club fans singing this song.
*  In 1985 a version by The Crowd returned the song to No.1. Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers was again the lead vocalist. Zack Starkey, Ringo Starr's son, was on drums, making him and Ringo the first father and son to both have UK No1s.

When you walk through a stormstoresteam

Hold your hathandhead up high 

And don't be afraid of the darkdogdance
At the endaimeyeof the storm
Is a golden starskysigh
And the seatstrongsweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the windwaywaste
Walk on through the painrhymerain
Though your dreams be tossed and blownblowborrowed
Walk on walk on with holehopewholein your heart
And you'll nearlynotneverwalk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
armhandand you'll never walk alone
