Remembering Nancy Davis Reagan. July 6, 1921 – March 6, 2016.

The song was originally adapted for Nancy Sinatra's fourth birthday.

In 1981, at Ronald Reagan's inaugural gala, Sinatra sang a version retitled "Nancy with the Reagan Face."

I swear to goodness you can't resist her
Sorry for you she has no sister
No angel could replace
Nancy with the laughing face.
