I was turned-on to alto sax by an instrumental of this tune, in the late 50s.

It was released in the US as a vocal by Perry Como.."Traveling Down a Lonely Road", and in UK by Ronnie Hilton as "Stars Shine in Your Eyes".

I'm trying to track down sheet music for this tune, so I can now play it on my own alto!

Can anyone help, please?

I've managed to discover it was written by Nino Rota (who wrote, among much else) The Godfather theme.
