"Getting over you" written by Tony Hazzard. One of the finest ( though not too well known ) performances Andy ever commited to wax. A theme of lost love, a man trying to convince himself all is ok since she went away, but failing hopelessly... A beautiful vocal performance. The song has an unusual structure: verse, verse, chorus, inst brk, chorus. My own personal favourite song by Andy Williams.

Thanks for uploading. I've been searching for this song for years.

Is there any song that Andy cannot sing? Get well soon.

Fantastic song. I bought this album when it came out just to listen to this song.

Andy Williams played the Albert Hall promoting "Solitaire" when it came out and I went just to hear him perform this live. Of course, he sang it perfectly because he has a great voice. He's a bit scary-looking now though because he's had so much plastic surgery.

Lovely, lovely song. The lyrics are so perfect and descriptive. His voice lends itself perfectly to this song. This is a wonderful song. The music is very compelling. He is singing this song from his heart no doubt about that. Thank you for this beautiful post.

Now then, we're all in accord here I think. This was always my favourite track from the 'Solitaire' album - quite an achievement when you consider just how good the title track was (still is). I used to play my parents copy of 'Solitaire' and crank up the volume for this - check out the wonderful, sympathetic strings that accompany the chorus - great production by Richard Perry. Why was this not huge? Checkout the B side 'Remember' which is not the same mix as on the album. Thanks for loading.

Been looking for this song for the past 35 years. Just couldn't remember the title. This is indeed a very lovely song. Have never understood why this didn't do better in the charts and not better known.
