I've been searching for this song for years!!! I was very young and during one summer my parents must of had it playing on the TV or radio. I only heard it a few times but it transcended me for the few moments in time. I recently just heard it searching around Syris radio and blurted out "Thats IT!!" Thats the tune Ive been trying to remember by humming it and couldn't figure out what it was called- until Now....what a wonderful relief and treat...so special to me.

When this came out it would play on FM 101 in the DFW area; I'd listen to it at night, same time, to go to sleep. Had an earplug that plugged in to my transistor radio from Montgomery Ward. For an 11 year old, that was tall cotton. This song is one I could listen to over and over; I still do actually. Takes me back to my youth, my room, and going to sleep listening to my radio.
