Sometimes when I hear this song I want to cry. (I think it loses something on youtube perhaps. If this doesn't move you, try a higher quality source.)
I am a fan of the torch songs, pop-standards, crooners, whatever one wishes to call them. To sing them well often requires a great deal of talent and I think that's especially true of this song in particular. It is not an easy song to sing and many people have embarrassed themselves singing it. Curiously enough, Cindy Lauper (yes, the squeaky voiced, pink-haired 1980s Cindy Lauper) has a version of this she released and it's not bad at all.
