Written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke in 1940 and recorded by Frank Sinatra with Tommy Dorsey; the third track on Fallen Angels.
The words
A sweet story of a young man meeting a girl at a country dance and falling in love.
The song tells a small, storybook romance: a chance meeting at a dance, an instant attraction, and a happy future that follows. Its images are whimsical and gentle, and its tone is warm and a little nostalgic. Unlike many of the sad ballads on these standards albums, it is light and charming. Dylan's band plays it at an easy, swaying tempo, and his voice treats it fondly, like a memory of a simpler time.
