Buddy Holly's deepest and greatest song. He captures the spirit of authentic, lasting love between a man and woman in a song. An astonishing feet. Skeeter loves the song, you can tell, and does it justice.

Perhaps the beautiful love song ever written. And sang by one of the very finest singers ever, Skeeter Davis (1931-2004). We miss you so much, dear one!
