Nobody I know seems to remember it, but I have often got the melody in my head and just cannot remember who sang it or even what it was called. People think I'm mad, but I know I remember it! I thought it was by Val Doonican, but I can't see anything on any websites of his! Any help on this would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Yes, that's it, thank you!

Can't seem to find it anywhere on youtube, it's a pity, but at least I know I wasn't imagining things, even if I did get the words slightly wrong!
