Written by Matt Dennis and Tom Adair in 1941 and recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1942; the second track on Shadows in the Night.
The words
A lover remembers the night a romance ended and how the whole world seemed to darken with it.
The singer recalls the evening a love affair came to an end, when even nature seemed to share in the sorrow. It is a classic torch song, quiet and wistful, dwelling on a single remembered moment rather than telling a long story. Dylan sings it slowly and plainly, without the polish of a crooner, and his small band plays softly with pedal steel guitar standing in for the lush strings of the original arrangements.
