the chordettes - love never changes
Love never changes
As time marches on
Love never changes
It's there with each dawn
Once in a lifetime
It comes your way
Deep in your heart
It is there to stay
Filled with devotion
Your life is complete
Filled with emotion
In every so sweet
Life is a song
And your dreams all come true
This love that I feel dear
Is love that is real dear
My love never changes for you
Life is a song
And your dreams all come true
This love that I feel dear
Is love that is real dear
My love never changes for you
Never changes for you
Takin silver-haired
the chordettes - basin street blues
There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There's a truck out on the four-lane
A mile or more away
The whining of his wheels just makes it colder
He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers
Up in the sky
And ten days on the road are barely gone
There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove
But it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm
Hey it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Hey it's good to be back home again
After all the news to tell him, how'd you spend your time
And what's the latest thing the neighbors say
And your mother called last Friday
"Sunshine" made her cry
And you felt the baby move just yesterday
And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
Feel your fingers feather soft upon me
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
The happiness that livin' with you brings me
It's the sweetest thing I know of
Just spending time with you
The little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove
And the light in your eyes that makes me warm
the chordettes - down among the sheltering palms
Down among the sheltering palms
Oh honey, wait for me
Oh honey, wait for me
Don't be forgettin' we've got a date
Out where the sun goes down about eight
How my love is burning, burning, burning
How my heart is yearning, yearning, yearning
To be down among the sheltering palms
Oh honey, wait for me
Down among the sheltering palms
Oh honey, wait for me
Oh honey, wait for me
Don't be forgettin' we've got a date
Out where the sun goes down about eight
How my love is burning, burning, burning
How my heart is yearning, yearning, yearning
To be down among the sheltering palms
Oh honey, wait for me
the chordettes - down by the old mill stream
My darling I am dreaming of the days gone by
When you and I were sweethearts
Beneath the summer sky
Your hair has turned to silver the gold has faded too
But still I will remember, where I first met you
The old mill wheel is silent and has fallen down
The old oak tree has withered
And lies there on the ground
While you and I are sweethearts
the same as days of yore
Although we've been together, forty years and more
Down by the old mill stream where I first met you
With your eyes of blue, dressed in gingham too
It was there I knew that you loved me true
You were sixteen, my village queen
By the old mill stream
the chordettes - for me and my gal
The bells are ringing for me and my gal
The birds are singing for me and my gal
Ev'rybody's been knowing to a wedding they're going
And for weeks they've been sewing every suzie and sal
They're congregating for me and my gal
The parson's waiting for me and my gal
And sometime I'm gonna build a little home for two for three or four or more
In love land, for me and my gal
the chordettes - humming bird
(Humming, humming, humming, humming)
Humming bird, humming bird should be your name
(Humming bird should be your name)
Too restless to settle, too wild to tame
(Too restless, too wild to tame)
Too restless to settle, too wild to tame
Humming bird, humming bird should be your name
(Humming, humming, humming, humming)
Humming bird, humming bird winging along
(Humming bird winging along)
No tender young blossom can hold you for long
(No blossom can hold you for long)
No tender young blossom can hold you for long
Humming bird, humming bird winging along
I'd rather be lonely, I'd rather be blue
Yes I'd rather spend my whole life without you
Than feather a nest to be shattered apart
By the hum, hum of your humming bird heart
Humming bird, humming bird feathered so fine
(Humming bird feathered so fine)
If I clipped your wings it would not make you mine
(No, no it would not make you mine)
If I clipped your wings it would not make you mine
Humming bird, humming bird feathered so fine
(Humming, humming, humming)
Humming bird, humming bird fly right on by
Some folks like to gamble but, darling, not I
Some folks like to gamble but, darling, not I
Humming bird, humming bird fly right on by
I'd rather be lonely, I'd rather be blue
Yes I'd rather spend my whole life without you
Than feather a nest to be shattered apart
By the hum, hum of your humming bird heart
By the hum, hum of your humming bird heart
the chordettes - lay down your arms
My sweetheart is a soldier
As handsome as can be
But suddenly they sent him
Away across the sea
So patiently I waited
Until his leave was due
Then wrote and said "my darling
I'll tell you what to do"
Come to the station
Jump from the train
March at the double
Down lover's lane
Then in the glen where the roses en-twine
Lay down your arms (lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
A soldier is a soldier
And when he's on parade
An order is an order
And has to be obeyed
You've got to do your duty
Wherever you may be
And now you're under orders
To hurry home to me
Come to the station
Jump from the train
March at the double
Down lover's lane
Then in the glen where the roses en-twine
Lay down your arms (lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
The girl who loves a soldier
Is either sad or gray
'Cos first of all he's with her
And then he's far away
But soldiers have their duty
To answer to the call
And that is why I'm calling
The loudest of them all
Come to the station
Jump from the train
March at the double
Down lover's lane
Then in the glen where the roses en-twine
Lay down your arms (lay down your arms)
Lay down your arms and surrender to mine
the chordettes - lonely lips
I've got lonely lips
On account of a broken heart
On account of a dream that fell apart
On account of I tried to play it smart
I've got lonely lips
On account of my flirty eye
On account of I told my heart a lie
On account of I loved that other guy
If only you'd come back to me
My lips would whistle a song
In the hap-hap-hap-hap-happiest key
I'd whistle all day long
I've got lonely lips
On account of I'm sad and blue
On account of you've found somebody new
On account of I lost the love of you
If only you'd come back to me
My lips would whistle a song
In the hap-hap-hap-hap-happiest key
I'd whistle all day long
I've got lonely lips
On account of a broken heart
On account of a dream that fell apart
On account of I tried to play it smart
I've got lonely lips
On account of my flirty eye
On account of I told my heart a lie
On account of I loved that other guy
If only you'd come back to me
My lips would whistle a song
In the hap-hap-hap-hap-happiest key
I'd whistle all day long
I've got lonely lips
On account of I'm sad and blue
On account of you've found somebody new
On account of I lost the love of you
the chordettes - never on sunday
Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday a Monday a Monday
is very very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday a Tuesday a Tuesday
in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday a Thursday a
Friday and Saturday is best
But never ever on a Sunday a Sunday a Sunday
cause that's my day of rest
Most anyday you can be my guest
Anyday you say but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest
Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day a hot day a wet day
which ever one you choose
Or try to kiss me on a grey day a May day a pay day
and see if I refuse
And if you make it on a bleake day a freak day or a week day
Well you can be my guest
But never ever on a Sunday a Sunday the one day
I need a little rest
Oh, you can kiss me on a week day a week day a week day
the day to be my guest
the chordettes - my heart stood still
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stopped right there
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt claps of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still
the chordettes - born to be with you
Born to be with you
By your side, satisfied
Through and through
'Cause I was born to be with you
Humming first verse
Wondrously, love can see
So I knew that I was born to be with you
Humming and whistling last verse
Do I find
Peace of mind
Yes, I do
'Cause I was born to be with you
All life through
Yes, I was born to be with you
