The song was introduced by John Raitt as %22Billy Bigelow%22 and Jan Clayton as %22Julie%22. It was performed in the 1956 Carousel (film) version by Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones.In the show, the characters of Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan sing this song as they hesitantly declare their love for one another, yet are too shy to express their true feelings.The song was in turn inspired by lines of dialogue from Ferenc Moln\u00E1r's original Liliom, the source material for the musical." .
