Answer:
Cannot be denied
This exquisite song was written by the Americans Jerome Kern and Otto Harback for the stage musical "Roberta" (1933). It was re-presented in the film adaptation of the same name in 1935, and starred the fantastic Fred Astaire, Gingers Rogers and Randolph Scott. The song has been recorded by various performers ever since, including the great Nat King Cole himself in 1946. It re-appeared in the 1952 movie "Lovely To Look At", starring Kathryn Grayson. It was the singing group The Platters who probably took this lovely song to its greatest heights when they released it in 1958, when it shot to number one on the charts in America. And, even into the 21st century, almost 100 years after it was first written, the song is still being performed by various artists with an appreciation of its beautiful lyrics and haunting melody.
