Hi Ed
Here is another one a little bit different from Belgium (my collection) If you
need a better copy of the Dutch one let me know

________________________________
note: Song was written in 1945 Sheet music was published in
London, France and Belgium. Crosby did a recording in September
45 and Tommy Dorsey in October 45 with Stuart Foster and The
Sentimentalists doing the vocal honors. The latter version peaked
at #15 and charted for four weeks in Billboard. Belgium sheet music
claimed Sinatra's version was recorded for Columbia Records. Dorsey
Brothers published the sheet music. In the fall of 45, there was a
thaw between T.D. and his former vocalist. Frank might have agreed
to go along with the foreign publication. I can find no evidence that
the sheet music was published in America. This morning I dug out
a CD with Foster singing the song. It isn't much of a song. I am
very surprised Mr. Crosby bothered with it.
