I love that you posted it. It's a stirring tribute to spring and to love and a really wonderful example of Nat King Cole's lovely singing and the sweetness of a lot of early 60s music.

Here are some of the lovely lyrics:

That Sunday, That Summer

If I had to choose just one day
To last my whole life through
It would surely be that Sunday
The day that I met you

Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills
Summer was a-coming in but fast
Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills
Nodding all together, I could almost hear them whisper
“Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her”

If I had to choose one moment
To live within my heart
It would be that tender moment
Recalling how we started
Darling, it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that Sunday, that summer

Words and Music by George David Weiss and Joe Sherman. This was a big hit in 1963.
