Written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn and recorded by Frank Sinatra on his 1965 album September of My Years.
The words
A man living alone after a breakup finds the evenings start too soon and stretch too long.
The song is about the empty hours after a relationship ends, when the night seems to arrive early and there is no one to share it with. It is a quiet, reflective ballad about ageing and solitude rather than fresh heartbreak. Dylan sings it gently over a spare arrangement, and the slow tempo lets the loneliness settle in rather than being declared.
