Original Album:	  Henry Mancini And His Orchestra and Chorus

Words by Johnny Mercer and Music by Henry Mancini

NOTES:
Recorded and released for the film "Breakfast At Tiffany's". Henry Mancini 
wrote this song especially for Audrey Hepburn and has said that her version
is still the best. A gorgeous, gorgeous song... Timing is 3/4.

The instrumental intro on the original soundtrack seems to be in F, which
modulates to D for the vocal part. So, capo on 2 if you want to play along
with the vocal part. Blame Henry for messing us about!
