There is no 'correct' or 'incorrect' in these realms. A number of tunes have been ascribed to Peg Ryan and in the absence of a name, she not always having one, sometimes folks just took the easy route. Now, hopefully that won't turn into a chicken or the egg discussion... They tend to arrive us as 'gan ainms' first, or in most cases... There are those nut cases who start with a title first - in search of a tune... Each to his own point of inspiration...
