Jim is giving us free rein for Song Lyric Sunday this week.
Which is timely. Tomorrow is my – by which, of course, I mean ‘our’ – 46th wedding anniversary and this is the first record I ever bought for my darling wife.
The words were true then and they are just as true now.
This was originally a hit for The Ronettes and later, rather improbably, The Ramones, but this is ‘our’ version.
Have I ever told you
How good it feels to hold you
It isn’t easy to explain
And though I’m really tryin’
I think I may start cryin’
My heart can’t wait an other day
When you kiss me I just gotta
Kiss me I just gotta
Kiss me I just gotta say :
Baby, I love you
Come on baby
Baby, I love you
Baby I love, I love only you
I can’t live without you
I love everything about you
I can’t help it if I feel this way
Oh I’m so glad I found you
I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name
Oh tell me that you feel
Tell me that you feel
Tell me that you feel the same
Baby, I love you
Come on baby
baby, I love you
Baby I love, I love only you
Written by Phil Spector, Jeff Barry & Ellie Greenwich
