If it helps anyone, I found it again! The White Cliffs of Dover. Played in a scene where Irene Dunn and her husband meet during World War I while he has leave. They are in a hotel and, yes, you guessed it, just after having had dinner, the song is played by a band on the bandstand outside the hotel. The husband asks, "What is the that song?" and she replies, "I don't know, but it somehow seems appropriate, doesn't it?" or something to that effect. I can't even find that scene on YouTube and I can't find any references to waltzes popular during WWI. I did find a listing of the songs in that movie but that one wasn't there, just like before.
