Written in 1936 by Jack Strachey with words by Eric Maschwitz, it is a British song that became an American standard.
The words
Small everyday objects and moments keep reminding a man of a lover who is gone.
The song is built from a list of tiny, ordinary things that bring a lost love back to mind, each one trivial on its own and painful in sum. It is affectionate and bittersweet rather than despairing. Dylan takes it gently, letting the band play a soft, swaying accompaniment while his voice lingers over the memories.
