I lost my dear Mom in 1993. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her. Love you Mommy <3 <3

First time I have been able to listin to the piece of recorded treasure since my own mother passed six months ago... If this were the only song Connie Francis ever recorded, she would still be remembered as a great star.

What do I say, its in the rest of the posts, but I would like to say one thing,we who are enjoying this lovely poetry with music are very lucky to have grown up in this post war era, it will be a long time if ever times like this come around again.

I never tire of listening to this song. I always think of my grandmother who sang this song to us. My eyes always tear at it.
