Wang Leehom – More I Cannot Wish You
An evening pause: This song is from the Broadway production of Cole Porter’s Guys & Dolls, which unfortunately got cut from the movie. It is song by an older man, a kind of father figure in the play, wishing the best for a young woman co-worker.
This version is actually the best live performance I could find, and amazingly it is from Beijing in 2017.
