Yeah. That's it. One of the most amazing songs ever written, sung by people who seem to understand it. [To nitpick: I'd love to have heard a re-recording of the 1932 Leo Reisman arrangement, the best one, IMHO.]
People dismiss Porter's songs as lightweight, but it's hard to, on reflection. He's one of the most passionate & saddest songwriters out there - however he makes light of it lyrically, you can tell he's felt every pang of longing and teardrop of distant love he writes about.
