Lyric transcribed by Ron Hontz, who also provided an audio source from which I transcribed the music.

Back in '25 when it was written, two versions made the Top 40: Art Gillham (#6) and Ted Lewis (#15). Tiny Hill revived it to #13 in 1939. Perry Como also recorded it in the same year as Starr, and scored a bigger hit on the charts.
