Beaautiful harmony. I love the melody and the lyrics. Brings back fond memories of my childhood, listening to the radio an watching early TV. I had a big crush on Dorthy. She had such a warm pretty smile.
Love the melody and the harmony, very nostalgic. The McGuire Sisters were terrific. I remember seeing the movie "Picnic" when I was 12 years old and fell head over heels in love with Kim Novak. The scene (which is available on YouTube) where she dances with William Holden is one of the sexiest ever - and nobody even took off their clothes!
My father LOVED this group....and I remember going with him and my mother to hear this group sing and I was really young and we sat REALLY close to the front and I felt as uncomfortable sitting up at the front as I did when we arrived late for church!
My parents always told us that this was their favorite song, played at their wedding for their first dance. They are both gone now, and i am a little choked up hearing it, but I thank you very much as the memories are good ones of them and our family growing up.
This song came from a time when good, decent music filled the radio. Within 10 years my boomer generation trashed what was left of romantic love songs. This country is the poorer for it.
@KnightVow The world is the poorer for it. My generation no longer appreciates this sort of music... it's all noise now, the louder the better. I happen to love it... I am convinced I was born too late
I loved this song many years ago, but only tracked it down today. So poignantly escapist and brimful with longing and nostalgia, it's almost unbearable to listen to.
Ahhh... that tight, razor-thin female harmony that we mere males can never duplicate. (The Buffalo Bills of Music Man fame came close, eh?) George Cates - Maestro Welk's wunnerful wunnerful right hand man - piggy-backed this tune onto Moonglow to create an awesome Moonglow/Theme from Picnic medley that became a monster hit in the 1950s. Anyone out there in the YouTube family who can share that Cates recording - or even a clip from a Welk show? Thanks:)
this song brings back alot of old memories I was stationed in lewiston new york 1955 and went to the movies in Buffalo and saw the movie Picnic

If I was trapped on an island.. I would wish I had this group for music! And also a way to play them!

@lilmike55912 That's actually quite easily accomplished. Provided the island you are trapped on is Manhattan!

Such a messmerizing song that when you listen to the words and the music, they "grab" your heart.
