苏珊·索尔尼：那是1938年，弗雷德·斯托巴记得在爱他牌根汁汽水的小卖部第一次看见他的挚爱的情景。她是汽车停靠站的一名送食物的女侍者。

弗雷德·斯托巴：她是我见过最漂亮的女孩。苏珊：他们结婚73年。就在今年四月，洛兰去世，享年91岁，之后不久他开始写这首歌曲。弗雷德：她去世后，有一晚我一个人坐在前厅，歌词就从脑海里冒了出来。

苏珊：歌写完后，弗雷德在报纸上看到有一个比赛，征集最好的歌，获胜者的歌曲可以制作成唱片发行。很多人送去了自己唱歌的视频，但是弗雷德只是寄去了自己的歌词。

雅各布·科尔根（歌手兼词曲作家）：我们收到了一个大号马尼拉纸的信封，而不是视频。我们读了他的信，他的话让我们十分感动。之后我们告诉他说，“弗雷德，我们打算录制你的歌。”

苏珊：歌曲完成后，他们邀请他第一次去听了成品。他们给弗雷德戴上耳机。

雅各布：准备好就告诉我。

苏珊：怀念他的挚爱。今晚，弗雷德用这首曲子缅怀75年前他第一次见到的面孔。
