This song was popular on the radio when I was five years old. It was the first tune that captured my ear because I thought it had this music box character of the sound in the piano. What memories. It haunted me for many years because I didn't know who did it, but I always remembered the piano part in it.

I love this! I was born in the 50s and only remember 1959, but I love this easy listening stuff, the more as I age.
