There’s a Lull in My Life is a 1937 torch ballad with lyrics by Mack Gordon and music by Harry Revel. It was written for the musical film Wake Up and Live and introduced by Alice Faye, with a single release in 1937 that became her only major hit. The tune, often performed as a slow, intimate ballad, helped establish its status as a jazz standard. Early 1937 versions were popular in vocal pop and swing circles, including Teddy Wilson with Helen Ward, George Hall and His Orchestra, and Duke Ellington with Ivie Anderson. Over the years it has been covered by many great artists such as Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Anita O'Day, Kay Starr, and Tony Bennett, the latter including a notable rendition on his 1964 album Who Can I Turn To.
