Whoa.
Yeah, I thought I'd reminisce
once more.
The other day I heard a record on the radio,
a sweet record,
The
Wedding
Bell
Blues.
It brought me back to the summer.
I started to think about the summer of 1969.
It's funny how you remember the
summers by the records.
But two records stood
out for me that year.
There was the wedding bell blows and
leaving on a jet plane.
We used to walk on those hot
nights to a pub just off
Oxford
Street called
The
Grapes.
We were both 16, it was sweet warm nights
and it's a fond memory now.
We decided we should adopt a song,
a song that was current.
She wanted I'll
Say
Forever
My
Love by
Jimmy
Ruffin, I wanted it to be
Lola by
The
Kinks.
We seemed to hear those two record
s everywhere we went.
The two I mentioned previously were predominant
songs on the ra dio at that time, I'd hear
them in the mornings when I was having my breakfast,
getting ready to go to work.
Well, she won.
It was never really acknowledged but
I'll
Say
Forever became a song.
Some nights I'd walk her home along
the edge of a road,
experiencing for the first time
this warm friendship
and not wanting to be anywhere
else.
last and it happened that my feelings changed before hers,
but I'll always remember those days.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'll set for it.
I will set for it.
I'll set for it.
I ask you for my love.
I'll set for it.
I can't believe my.
