Stumbled here after searching for the tune after being introduced its fascinating melody by Fred Hersch's cover. This rendition moved me to tears as I listened to it while reading its lyrics. The song hits particularly hard during this especially lonely time after having been single for the past three years, half of that in the Covid era, when things are now even more uncertain and restless than ever. I'm at a point where it's been so long I've felt a genuine romantic connection to someone that there's no face that comes to mind when I try to summon one for this song. Instead, all the men I've had such a connection with in the past three years appear now in turn. I am reminded, by the song, of the dreams I've had of them, some of which are dreams I had woken up to with a tear in my eye. Now those dreams are gone, and I can only imagine that one of them is really there. Thank you for the beautiful performance Gary. I do wish one day that I could spend my life with someone who is as charming and talented as you, and who could make music with me as beautifully as you did here in this video.
So beautiful. Very touching lyrics and gorgeous music.
Thanks, I wish I had written the song. It was Johnny Mandel and Dave Frishberg.
I LOVE this song
Sounding good, buddy. Great tune as well. 😊
Thanks pal. Say hi to Les for me.
That was gorgeous thank you ❤️
Thank you so much Noreen. I love Frishberg tunes and lyrics, and this one with Mandel music is special.
Really ❤️ this sweet, sentimental song! It brings back such memories ... lovely rendition!
My Vocal Coach is having me add this to my rep book and this is easily my favorite version
Thanks Michael.
