Thanks for locating the whole song, Jim. I suspected there was an introduction, and you found it. Hoagy Carmichael came from Indiana.
This tune is a challenge. It has a range of an octave plus a third. And the chords - Ab mi 7, any one?
I recall hearing this song on television as a kid, and they always blasted it good and loud, with trap drum going and maybe a couple of trumpets. But it seems to me a song which should be sung gently, caressing all those chromatics. ===== It's fun to look at the list of songs also published by the same firm (page 5) and to see which of them are familiar to me.
