I wonder why I picked this side - no recollection of writing it (or the song really!). I should put something about the missing double A sides in the FAQ. Hmm, case for a rewrite then.

I know it because one or other of my parents (probably my Dad) but I don't recall it getting any radio play. Wikipedia has it as one half of a double A side with <em>Climb Every Mountain</em>, a big blockbuster from <em>The Sound of Music</em> and much more our Shirl's kind of thing, and I'm pretty sure that's what either parent would have bought it for. And I can't begin to imagine why the sure-fire <em>Climb Every Mountain</em> would be relegated to the B side of this dirge. I thought there was something odd about this.
