Matt Monro songs as antonyms - guess the real title

Marian asked for a new, challenging quiz. My suggested quiz is a bit like the cryptic game, but hopefully it will be easier. Think of a Matt Monro song title, but write it in opposite terms. The rest of us can then guess it. The person who guesses it correctly must supply a new song title written in opposite.
Here's an easy example:
Run Here
would be:
Walk Away

Here's the first one for you to guess:
March Poem

Hi Paul this is good idea for a quiz. Is our answer correct to your cryptic?? " September Song. "?

Well done, Lena and Harry, for the very first guess! March is exactly six months from September and a poem is kind of an opposite of a song.
It's your turn to submit an opposite title. Please don't make it too challenging yet. Let's work slowly towards the advanced level.

You must have been reading my mind Paul.
How about
"Silvertoe"
Sorry I pinched your go Lena and Harry--but as I was here---with inspiration
I thought that I would have a go!

Is this a Matt Monro one, Marian, I thought of Goldfinger but he didn't sing this.

Silly me--I got quite carried away--I first thought of "From Russia with love"--which led me to "Goldfinger"
Sorry everyone
But at least you can see how it works.
I will try this one
"Tony !!!"

That's a good one. I believe it's one of Robert's top 5 Matt Monro songs:
Maria
Let me know if I'm right, then I'll submit another song after I return from my coffee and doughnuts.

I would never have got that, Paul.

Since I'm pretty sure I was right with Tony/Maria, and I'll be away for awhile with my coffee and doughnuts, I'll take the opportunity to submit another easy one:
Spring Blossoms

Would this one be AUTUMN LEAVES Paul?

Very good, John. Your turn.
Please save the 1970s album tracks and B sides for a little later in the game.
I know how you love to submit lyrics from those songs to stump us!

O.K. Pul, this is very easy,

Sorry Paul, I missed the letter a out of your name.

Not as problem, Jon, as my name is Jeff (but not for Marian from Kent!), so I don't mind mistakes on my middle name.
Your song is Spring Is Here. Here's another:
Die Imprisoned
