*As is noted elsewhere on the site, this song is one of only two written by Ruth Lowe (the other being "I'll Never Smile Again.") Left half-complete for quite some time, this song was finished in a rush (literally over night) because Sinatra needed a theme song. Years later, at the request of the Sinatra family, it was the last song played at Frank's funeral.
