Suggested by frequent visitor James Andrews. If you're familiar with Day's version of this song, then you're already aware that I've omitted two rather lengthy dialogs used as a bridges in her recording. My reasoning is that outside of her recording, I've never heard them anywhere else -- which makes me suspect most people have never heard them at all.
