In case you're wondering, that was the B-side of the sublime "Concrete and Clay"; I know this because I actually owned the 45 back in the day (1965).
Well, actually I owned the American version on London Records, but you get the idea.
The song itself -- co-written by the great film composer Victor Young -- was originally a hit for Doris Day in 1952, but don't worry...I won't inflict that on you at this late date.
I should add that I have always loved U4+2's version; in fact, I wore out the b-side a lot faster than the putative hit.
I should also add that I stole today's title from Oscar Levant, who knew whereof he spoke. 😎

That was nice, but the Doris Day version is good too. And the orchestra and choir behind her really adds the melodrama.
thanks for reminding me how old I am 😉
I bought this 45 when it was released, can't recall flipping over the B side.
That London label - an alternate swirl of two tones of blue - same for Stones 45s
This sounds like the Beach Boys doing
their a capella stuff to my ears.
