Charted at #14 in Billboard in January 1950. Original review as a Billboard Pick: "This is a completely charming and somewhat unusual song written in the fashion of a lullaby. Jo turns in a restrained but beautifully effective vocal effort with the aid of a vocal group and exceptionally tasteful orking by Paul Weston."
Also #18 for Harry Belafonte and Millard Thomas on the UK Singles chart in September 1957 and #13 for the Browns in November 1959 (#7 Country).
Released in December 1949.
Written by Evelyn Danzig and Jack Segal.
B-side is "Happy Times".

Jo Stafford made many recordings in te late 40s and early fifties-another lovely one is "No Other Love" which is actually Tristesse composed by Fredric Chopin in the early 1800's and is beautiful. Jo Stafford was married to bandleader Paul Weston. She recorded many other songs at that time.10 years ago
