"Sandra" is a song written by Barry Manilow and Enoch Anderson.
A piano-based ballad, the song takes the voice of a lonely housewife looking back at missed opportunities, because she married at an early age.
Dusty Springfield covered the song on her 1978 album It Begins Again.
In a contemporary interview with Music Week, Springfield praised the song's "own inbuilt drama" and considered it to be more personal when sung by a woman.
This version was Forsyth's first American single release, on Warner Bros.[3]
