Solved: Again

I have been trying to find a song I heard back in '49 or '50 by a female singer and the song title is "Again". I thought it was Vera Lynn but she sang another song "We'll Meet Again"...not the same. I heard a recording of Arthur Prysock (I'd never heard of him) sing my song on the radio right here in Brussels but I'm searching for the singer who made it well known first. Anyone have any ideas???

I believe Doris Day sung "Again" in 1949, maybe that's the one you're looking for

Good job Claybricks!

Thanks to my quick helpers - I've been frustrated trying YouTube and Google, but now I am happy to learn it WAS Vera Lynn who recorded it in '49, although Doris Day's version is also excellent.
