Written by Irving Berlin in 1923 and recorded by Frank Sinatra; the ninth track on Shadows in the Night.
The words
A lonely lover wonders how to go on now that the person who mattered most is gone.
The singer has lost someone and can only imagine the empty days ahead, filled with memories and photographs instead of company. The song is a waltz built around a series of quiet, helpless questions. Its tone is tender and resigned rather than dramatic. Dylan's version is slow and unadorned, with the band barely above a whisper, so the old melody and his worn voice carry all the feeling.
