I used to play this song to death - my mum had it on an LP with a black and white cover and ND in silhouette. Been looking for a good recording of it for ages.
He didn't write a whole lot of waltzes. This and "Play Me" are the only two I can think of off the top of my head. I love the sparse production of the old Bang singles.
@winds0ck / thank you i've been looking for this song for so long / was part of my brothers 45 collection / he was killed in Nam in 68' / this is the only song i could not get an mp3 on.
this evokes great childhood memories for me, thanks.

Cliff Richard recorded a cover of this in 1967, which charted here in Australia.

I have both Neil & Jack vinyls in my cupboard. Duel 508 and 517.
These are the very reason I was born!

I've always loved this song.
You;re right . It is quite obscure. I had it on an an 8-track tape called Neil Diamond: Double Gold.

2 things.
1. Why is this song obscure? Total puritan asking here.
2. That 8-track tape sounds interesting!!! I'd probably enjoy that alot.
