Do you remember Donny Osmond’s 1972 hit single?

This song was originally written in 1960 by Paul Anka for his girlfriend at the time, Annette Funicello. When Paul released this song it only ever got to number 2 on the Billboard 100. 12 years later in 1972, Donny Osmond took the lyrics and made them his own. Donny’s version of this song got to number one in Australia for six weeks straight, as well as, number one in Canada and the UK.

This song was also covered by Bebi Dol in 2006, Damnian McGrinty in 2007 and Amy Winehouse in 2009. This song was used as soundtracks in movies such as the Disney classic movie ‘101 Dalmatians’ and the 1993 American horror movie ‘Man’s Best Friend’.

Can you guess what song it is? Here is a clue:

I cry each night my tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I hope and I pray that maybe someday
You’ll be back (you’ll be back) in my arms (in my arms)
Once again (you’ll be back in my arms once again)
