I read long ago that this song was written for a certain teacher. One of the girl singers had a deep crush on him, so that's why the song was written. Apparently, it broke her heart not to be with him.
Great song ,remember it well.Thank you. PS. Can anyone tell me of a song from about this time goe`s "Your`e my apollo,my sweet apollo"A girl singer. Thanks if you can help. RCAKEN.
Spring/ Summer, of'58, this was just an all-time romantic classic ; I was 11, going on 12 y/o, and i did my 1st " chest to chest ', slow dance to this song. Her name was Dotty Lynes, and she was such a total Babe. i love this song today, as much as I did then. Thank-you for this Vid: one of the best I've seen on ' YT". The mmeories are Forever: Graci, Poni-Tails! Wolfsky9
Thank You TheJerryChannel for a very clever and classy video. I appreciate the lyrics. Patty Dwyer, you broke an 8 year olds heart. She was 15 and lived across the street and we were both half a block up the street from Roches drug store in Syracuse.. Great big cokes for a dime!

We always called the younger girls "chickees".
I married my "chickee" 47 years ago.

That was composer Charles Strouse first record. He went on the become a Broadway composer. Lovely melody and great performance.
The record was "discovered" by KFGO Fargo disc jockey Bobby Dale. He went on to become a classic DJ in Omaha, Saint Paul and the west coast.

No honey, it's not your fault, you were not born too late, I was born too early.

no such thing as born too late. look at catherine zeta jones and michael douglas, 30 years difference. no, there is just born too poor.
great song though.
