This is Frank's baby, but so many others covered it as well... Louis Armstrong; Louis Prima; Ella Fitzgerald; Peggy Lee; Tony Bennett; etc. The song was written in the 30's, which goes to show its staying power. I don't believe it's a love song in the conventional sense; I believe it's about being in love with life. Life is what we make it...filled with ups and downs, but we hold the string (most of the time:)

Just a heads up, I'm envious of how perfect you are. You'll get yours...
