Storch wrote the song in the hospital for his wife Maria as he was ill for a long time. The English language lyrics were written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons. The best-known version of the song was recorded by English singer Vera Lynn. The story goes that Vera was on holiday in Switzerland and heard people singing the song in beer parlours,[1] and when she got back she felt she had to record it, so found the music and had lyrics written. The recording of the song by Vera Lynn which featured accompaniment by Soldiers and Airmen of HM Forces and the Johnny Johnston Singers,[1] was the first song recorded by a foreign artist to make number one on the Billboard charts, in 1952.[1] A German-language version with Rudi Schuricke was released on the 78 rpm record Polydor 48 374 H in 1950.
