Hey, Brit. You got your days and nights mixed up again? Laters, buddy and I love that hilarious video by Peter Sellers. What a talent.
The Very First Time by Roberta is great, but here is my favorite by her.
First a little background on the song, y'all.

It was inspired by Lori Lieberman's response to having seen a performance by Don McLean It has been covered by numerous artists, most notably by Roberta Flack, whose version topped the U.S. pop singles charts, and won a Grammy Award.

and the lyrics
Somewhere, my love, there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hopes of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the Spring breaks through
You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again
<jazz instrumental-first four lines>
Someday we'll meet again, my love
I said "someday whenever that Spring breaks through"
You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, and as soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again!
