Can anyone identify the song that went something like:

My every dream belongs to Susie
Across a thousand miles of sea

I've left my heart at home with Susie
And taken Susie's heart with me.

I thought it was a Sinatra song, but have never been able to find it in
any compliation of his songs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

I like this song also. I heard it at a cardiology convention once.

Thanks. I was honestly beginning to feel that I had dreamed up this
song -- since I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I wish you could remember the name. I'm not even 100% sure the girl's
name was Susie. I began to think it was Nancy (would tie in with the
Sinatra connection) -- but that's also been a dead end. (It's
definitely NOT "Nancy with the laughing face" -- or whatever that song
is.

Sure. No problem :)

Well I'll try to get back to you on it. And I hated that Nancy song
didn't you?
