"Misty" is a jazz standard written in 1954 by pianist Errol Garner. This arrangement is based on the up-tempo country version by Ray Stevens, which won the Grammy award for "Best Arrangement, Instrumental and Vocals" in 1976. Technically this is not really a verse/chorus structure and is more a jazz thirty-two-bar (AABA) form.
