SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME - Free Jazz Leadsheet

someday my prince will come, composed by Frank Churchill with lyrics by Larry Morey in 1937 for Disney's animated film, is a gentle, romantic ballad that has found a significant place in jazz repertoire. Its simplicity and lyrical charm allow for expressive interpretations.

The first recording was associated with the Disney film soundtrack in 1937, performed by the film’s vocal ensemble. Jazz artists including Miles Davis and Bill Evans later adapted it, transforming the song into a standard for improvisation.

The lyrics convey hope and longing for love, while the musical structure follows a 32-bar AABA pattern. The song’s delicate melody and harmonic subtleties encourage nuanced phrasing and emotional depth.
