Music by Hoagy Carmichael and lyrics by Ned Washington.
Someone once remarked that they thought this was the sexiest song ever written.

Merci LaPerdrix. Such a lovely chord progression and melody - it was sung from the heart.

Sweet! You've inspired me to pull out my Hoagy Carmichael book again! And, I love the reflection of those Ukes hanging on the wall.
