Thank you for posting this song. I played this video for my mom two days before she died. Then I showed it to my brother a few minutes after my mom passed away. Bernadette sang, "...I'm flying..." and my mom's lamp dimmed and then came up. She sang this song for Mary Martin's funeral.

What a treat! I was 16 when I saw this and just tonight seeing it for the first time again!! 30+years later. This was on a short lived Carol Burnett summer show that was on Friday nights. It wasn't from the original show. I never forgot this or that dress!!

She sang this 1st on the Tonight show and it was slower and even more staggering than this gorgeous rendition. Thanks so much for the post!

I saw her sing this in concert in Cincinnati's Music Hall, mystical! She was all in black with just a spot light, just her upper body. She looked like she was floating, and flying, just beautiful!

Truly one of a kind. I aim to be as spectacular a performer as her.

Gosh so far half of her songs are stuck in my head but that's a good thing for she knows how to sing more then anyone else does its shocking to think about isn't it annyways though she is the most talented person I've ever seen and it would mean everything if that I was able to meet her someday hopefully that day will come but for now at least all I can do is sit here and watch her work her magical singing voice on an entire audience

Beautiful. Heard about this on the Richard Kind episode of Never Not Funny.

Isn't she just stunning! I didn't think she could get more beautiful... I was wrong!

What a pair of gorgeous lungs, dear lord. 😍😻

i used to love this..thank you for posting this!

Thank you so much for posting !!! I've been searching for this for ages- some of the other skits from this episode are priceless ("The Sondheim Revue" and "The Chef's Tour"). Thanks again !!

Thanks for uploading this! I saw her in concert 5 years ago or so-- she sang this and it was my favorite song of the night, but for some reason I wasn't able to find any kind of recording of it afterwards. Thanks!

🤗💙💜💚

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. :-)

She was made for the Broadway stage. And how about that accompanist? Cute flourishes.

This is very well done, as is all Peters' work, but I can't rid myself of the spectacular standard Mary Martin version. Flying would be sheer excitement unless one were mellowed out on marijuana or booze.
