For the record, the song was written by Hoagy Carmichael (who wrote Stardust and that song you always play on the piano, Heart and Soul, among many others). Ned Washington just did the lyrics. Glenn Miller and Sinatra just made it famous.

Covering songs and making them you own is an established tradition in jazz.
