Enjoy this old love song recently unlocked from its nearly 110 year old wax cylinder time capsule.

Although I have been unable to locate sheet music for this song, according to the Library of Congress, it appears to have been written by Roger Harding.   Harding, a tenor, would undoubtedly have been pleased with how his song was rendered by fellow recording artist, baritone, Steve Porter.
