Old songs that tug at heart strings

I am a sucker for oldies... I think they have the loveliest lyrics... simple maybe, but they carry the most meaning? So this song has been in my head for quite a while... reminds me a tad of James Blunt "You're Beautiful"... I think this is really quite sad, yet sweet

My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's day
My Cherie Amour, distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never notice me
My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
