    One of my dad's all-time favorites. Played in his honor. I love you, dad. RIP William L. Martin, 2/24/1938 - 1/13/2023.

      but when he heard this he became obsessed and bought the LP. RIP Dad, miss you.

    Frank Mills wrote this song for his daughter who was gravely ill to try and cheer her up. It was never meant for public release, it was her song. After hearing it she said no , you have to share this with everyone. And aren't we all very glad that he did. One of the most joyous, most happy songs ever written, because it was written out of true love.

      Your beautiful reply to this beautiful post featuring such a beautiful song is beautiful. I lost a wonderful, noble, godly, exciting, satisfying, selfless, and beautiful from the neck up, from the neck down, beautiful when she sang, when she spoke, and when she'd joke. I had the best and she left the next Lady some glass slippers of a certain size to try and fill. With my (God's version of) luck, the next Wonder Woman will be much much much more than enough just being her Sweet Self. May you fall in love and awe and satisfaction with yourself, with whole lonesomeness, and (maybe) with God and may you be visited beautifully by your sweet 'one who got away' supernaturally if you're open.

    I used to listen to this song when i was a young child on a record and just cry and cry and cry . And dance . I called it the happy song . I haven’t heard it since the 80’s . I lost all my family in the last two years . I’ve cried enough . This song made me feel happy again . If just for a fleeting moment . 2:20 2:21

    I started crying hearing this again.
    I listened to this over and over back in the 70s. I think it made me cry even back then.
    So right now, while I'm listening to this for the tenth time in a row, my doorbell rings and I pause it. I let my BF in and said "Hey, listen to this song!"
    He rolled his eyes and then when the song started he froze with a stare. Tears welled up in his eyes. He was immobile. Some tears streamed down his cheeks. Then he snapped out of it and said "I'm so sad, and I don't know why."
    How can this little song have such an impact on so many of us?
    The first time I heard it I stopped what I was doing to listen to it. It was hypnotic. Still is.

    アーケード街で良く流れていました。
    当時小学生の頃でしたが
    テストで悪い点数とっても
    この曲が流れてきたら元気貰えました。そしてこの曲聴いたら祖母からお小遣い貰ってデパートの屋上の
    ゲームセンターで遊んでいました。
    曲名も全然わからないまま長ーい
    年月過ぎてしまいましたが
    再び聴けて幸せです。
