It's amazing that George Gershwin was just a teenager when he composed this beautiful song. First time I heard it, I cried because it reminded me of my children when they were very young.....time goes by too fast! My grandson just celebrated his 3rd birthday yesterday and I remember when he was born...I guess I'm getting old (I'm 50 and my husband is 54)!!
