Words written

 When Ned Washington set the words 

to that melody by DimitriTiomkin he put

down something that would last.


I met Ned in Los Angeles at the American 

Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers.

meeting. The time will stay with me.


Starting with nothing then 

pulling those words out and putting

them together for the movie High Noon

was like magic: Do not 

Forsake me oh my darling.
