Useful detail

Performance tip

Do not drag the tempo. Keep the lyric conversational and let the final phrase carry the extra weight.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Choose this for a standards-friendly, holiday, or mixed-generation room when you want a reliable men's selection. It asks for steady breath control and clean verse timing, and the familiar melody rewards restraint more than volume.
