Actually.... I remember now.
It wasn't a hit version I was hearing. And I wasn't a child. Young yes, but not a child, actually a teenager.
My first husband used that song as one of several charms to reel me in. He used to play it for me on his guitar. Yes, slower. I gradually started to remember that he never could quite get the chords right on the title line. He kept backing up and singing the words "by the way" twice.
Sometimes I think I married his guitar, not him. He was actually quite talented and could make his guitar do everything but the dishes....
In a weird, roundabout way, my children might not exist if it hadn't been for GL. Strange to think about.
