What song is playing throughout Issac and Mary's love scene?

There is a song that plays while Issac and Mary are dating (dancing in the apartment, on the boat in Central Park, etc) - after the line "Hit the lights." when they're in bed.

It's a piece with just bass, drums and piano - from the soundtrack albums it sounds like it could be 'Mine', but it's certainly not the same recording. Shazam searches bring up nothing.

Cheers!

"Oh Lady Be Good" by George Gershwin.

Rebuild the WTC exactly as before and keep old movies accurate!

No, it's "Embraceable You" by Gershwin.

"Oh Lady Be Good" is playing during the scene where Isaac, Mary, Yale and Emily drive up to Sneeden's Landing and discover a copy of Jill's book on sale.

Thanks! You rock. I tried to do it from memory.

So it is - thanks very much. Any idea what version is used in the film? The one on the soundtrack appears to be orchestral.
