    here's a decent nitery version by Vic Damone from a 1962 LP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYBkBALqJCo

    1927 by James Melton from the film "Seventh Heaven": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPIbNqwCMuo

    the vast majority of versions were, it seems, instrumentals: https://secondhandsongs.com/performance/297452/versions#nav-entity

    Dear Mr. Cordiality, alas, after your message went viral there was no
    stock left on the shelves!

    Never understood why so many artists felt the need to record this awful cornball song. Some in waltz time, some in 4/4. All more soporific
    than a turkey dinner.

    Fair enough, but the above 1964 version got to #1 in the UK, #2 in
    Ireland, and #3 in Australia. It was in the UK Top 50 for 19 weeks,
    the same as for Dave Clark Five's "Glad All Over".
