It's from the Gershwin song book.  There are 20 songs that Gershwin took and arranged for piano solo.  In fact he wrote a forward to the book explaining how he felt the need to arrange some of the songs for pianists with a professional technique.  They ARE lovely, and I once played them with orchestra for the Balanchine ballet "Who cares?".
