Track 11 of 18 from Rod McKuen's early album Lonely Summer.

It was recorded in 1955. There is dispute over what year it was released. In Rod's own words:

"1953...was the year I entered the United States Army. I received my discharge in early 1955 and later that year came to Hollywood where I recorded “Lonely Summer.” It was released the same year."

According to Barry Alfonso, author of "Voice of the Warm":

"According to Rod, his first LP was Lonely Summer, recorded before Lazy Afternoon...It may have remained in the can for a year or two--several sources give early 1958 as its release date."

Billboard reports the albums release date as "Spring '58."
