I'm looking for either the title, artist, or both, of an oldies song. It is instrumental, has a really pretty melody, and is fairly popular. I'm pretty sure it is played at the beginning of the movie "La Bamba" but I listened to the snippets on amazon.com and it is not on the soundtrack. It is a slow song, in 6/8 time (i think; it's definitely 3/4 if not). The chord structure is the basic bubble gum turnaround (I-vi(m)-IV-V) with the exception of the fourth chord, which is either a Vdim7th or a V7th. The melody is played on a steel guitar. Songs that I know it is NOT are:Telstar, Moonglow. These were suggested by friends and I checked them out, but neither is the song I'm trying to find. Thank you in advance for your help.

The song you are looking for is, "Sleep Walk", by Santo & Johnny. And believe or not there are lyrics to this song. Here you go, a video of Santo & Johnny performing, "Sleep Walk", and the lyrics. Enjoy!!

SLEEPWALK
Instead of dreaming
I Sleepwalk
Cause I lost you
And now what am I to do
What to do.
Can't believe that we're through
I don't care how much you tell me
Sleeptalk
Cause I miss you
While the memory of you
Lingers like a song
Darling, I was so wrong
But I'll be right some day
The night fills my lonely place
I see your face
I know, I miss you so
I still love you
And it drives me insane
Sleepwalk
Every night I just Sleepwalk
And when you walk inside the door
I will Sleepwalk no more
Sleepwalk
Every night I just Sleepwalk
And when you walk inside the door
I will Sleepwalk no more
I will Sleepwalk no more
I will Sleepwalk no more

Yeah, it's Sleepwalk, Johnny and Santo, and many others afterwards, of which only Brian Setzer's verison rocks. Satriani & Fripp, Beck, and all other nobodies are boring to tears. Oh - it's even older, it's even the 40s, I think. The IV chord is F minor7.
