Just to show how crazy my music tastes can swing, we have a traditional honky tonk era country song…and THIS. 
Oh, there’s more traditional pop to be had on this list, but for now, Ol’ Blue Eyes is here to sing for us!
Summer Wind - Frank Sinatra
The single before this was “Strangers in the Night,” and the one after it was “That’s Life.” And look which one I picked.
This originated in Germany, with German lyrics. Johnny Mercer gave it English lyrics, and Frank Sinatra gave it the royal treatment. Frank wasn’t the first one to record it in English (I think that was Wayne Newton), but does anyone really remember anyone after Sinatra did it?!
What a masterpiece.
Summer Wind
Written by Heinz Meier and Hans Bradtke
English lyrics by Johnny Mercer

Guess who sighs his lullabies:

@FourWalls Do I have to use APA citation when I say "Nope"?

@TheHorse — why don’t you “nah” instead of “nope”? Be original!

Don’t think there are any bells in this song.

Not big on ol' blue eys but I do like this song, and wish there was a summer wind blowing out there now. 3:58 and already getting dark out there.

There’s a dozen crooners I’d rather listen to, but nobody does this one like Frank.

Hubby knew both song and artist. I knew the artist and recognized his voice.
