This version is sung by Nancy LaMott
All-time favorite written for Dick Powell to serenade Olivia De Havilland within a boat on a lake! The song has been successfully revived more than once over the years. This was the first hit that Harry co-wrote with Johnny Mercer which is by far the highlight of the film "Hard To Get."
