Beautiful love song. Frankie sings it beautifully in my opinion. Thanks for sharing as it brings back memories of my youth.

This song has been in my head for decades only knowing parts of it, and not knowing the song title or who sang it. I've just rediscovered it, I'm 65 and mum would sing it to me as a small child.
Although frail I've just sat her in front of my computer and played it to her.
She remembered it and said "I use to sing this to you Peter" and she continued singing it word for word.
Talk about being chocked up, we were both a bit emotional. She'll be 90 on 16th Dec in five days time.
I feel she'll make her birthday and will then sadly let go as she asked me if I'll play this at her funeral sadly.
I promised her I will do that.
Thank you for this recording.
