That was my mother's favorite song. I was just thinking of her and looked for it.

My parents had a pretty nice jukebox in the basement of their home, and I used to punch up this song to play fairly often. It's the only song I can still remember playing on it.

This is the first time I've heard the song since the early 1960s that I can think of.

my parents had this song on a 78 its nice to hear again. Good memories

[butchwells]

Who's singing this song? Was it a musical?

[countrypaul]

Song is sung by Jo Stafford, & was a huge single hit in the early 1950s. Not from a show, but I agree, it sounds like it. Co-written by her husband, Paul Weston. Also around: a ska version by Jerry Jackson! Google it....
