With lyrics by composer Royden Barrie, the romantic words are well matched to the touching melody. The song has been recorded many times since it appeared, including a version by jazz songstress Peggy Lee and one arranged for zither.

Wood was not only was a gifted and popular creator of Orchestral works andmusical theatre, but also the composer more than 200 songs, many of them the greatest hits of their era.
