One Morning in May is a 1933 traditional popular song with music by Hoagy Carmichael and lyrics by Mitchell Parish. The first recording was Hoagy Carmichael and His Orchestra, made on October 10, 1933 for Victor, and the tune is a bright, jaunty springtime melody about a hopeful reunion with a loved one. It has since become a jazz standard and has been covered by many artists, including Lanny Ross with an orchestra directed by Ray Sinatra and Ray Noble with Al Bowlly in London, with numerous instrumental and vocal versions appearing on records and in albums. A notable later recording is the Bill Charlap Trio on the 2002 Stardust album. The song is typically performed in traditional pop and swing-influenced jazz styles and is published by Mills Music.
