  • What year was this beautiful song composed? A friend of mine had this song on a 78. It sounded like it was from the early 1930s. It was a very atmospheric slow fox trot, I wish I knew who the artest was. But I Think it had the dorsey brothers in the orchestra. anyway what a wonderful record it was!

  • Should be in the early 1940s.

  • who is the original writer of this song..

  • This was composed by the English composer Eric Coates (1886-1957).
