thank you for this lovely tune. I was looking here for the words and here it is, holds a dear memory of my grandpa... he would play it for me. as this is my Name
I used to hate my name way back in elementary school, but as the years have passed I realize how lucky I am to have been named after this beautiful song. I'm so glad mom loved it so much to name me. Thank you for this post. It choked me up. :)
I love songs from the 1920s :D I actually came across this song when I was watching Morecambe & Wise (british comedy duo). They were in a supermarket and Ernie Wise picked up a box of chow mein. Eric Morecambe said that was a famous song. "I wonder why you keep me waiting...chow mein." :D Now hearing the song, I understand the joke...I love this stuff!
Excellent rendition! Many thanks. (I was first attracted to this piece upon hearing it played as background radio in "The Green Mile". I later realized I've heard the chorus played many times as "elevator music" in shopping malls - neutered with 1001 strings, and a complete aberation.)
@Scheherizade I also used to dislike my name when I was a child. But my daddy loved this song and the name and chose it for me before I was ever born. My daddy sang it to me all the time! Unfortunately, the song has been used in movies to denote oddity. It certainly isn't a common name these days. But I think it is pretty.

For all his variety of recordings, this is the style of Franklyn Baur I enjoy most.
Baur was one the 20's best tenors, glad you enjoyed it.
This song seems to have been composed for him. It suits his voice perfectly.
Thank you for posting.
very emotionally charged so beautiful
Glad you liked it Brent
My favorite male vocalist of the 1920's.
I am glad to have helped you with that fond memory. Thanks for visiting my channel.

@MarkEdwardSpeer
I will be posting more but don't think I have that one. I am not aware of any cd either.
For a very different but equally fine version check out Jimmie Lunceford's Orchestra from ?1935?
this was recorded 9/9/1927
I like everything about this song except the emoting, which at the time was the style. Its not my fault.
