Teresa,
Knowing you and I are from the same generation, there is no way Loveless could be the songstress you seek, having been born the year I graduated high school (1957). I think you are really seeking the version by Marjorie Hughes.
Frankie Carle (Born: Mar 25, 1903 in Providence, Rhode Island Died: Mar 07, 2001) wrote this song, which he recorded with his daughter, Marjorie Hughes. It is available from amazon.com at

BTW, You are welcome, old girl...
Gee, I hope this is the right one....
