I'll thank the excellent Neko Case cover for reminding me about this one.
but yesterday i got this letter from a boy i loved before i ever knew you / before i even knew you
I'll be back in the time it takes to break a heart.
My son's first favorite song...Superchunk and Neko Case also do credible versions, but the Shangri-la 's is immortal

From 1965. The first 30 seconds survive without a backbeat, but when it comes in, you see the light.
