October 8, 2010This song was written by Malvina in 1957. I got this version from a reissue of her self-titled 1971 album.
I most associate The Seekers with this song. Theirs was the first version I heard, and I always find first hearings stick in my head more than most others, but I do like going back and hearing the songwriter.
