This so so sad. Joy (Kentish Maid GC) TELL LAURA I LOVE HER Ray Peterson Laura and Tommy were lovers He wanted to give her everything Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring He saw a sign for a stock car race A thousand dollar prize it read He couldn't get Laura on the phone So to her mother Tommy said Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura I may be late I've something to do, that cannot wait He drove his car to the racing grounds He was the youngest driver there The crowed roared as they started the race 'Round the track they drove at a deadly pace No one knows what happened that day How his car overturned in flames But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck With his dying breath, they heard him say Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura not to cry My love for her will never die And in the chapel where Laura prays For Tommy who passed away It was just for Laura he lived and died Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura not to cry My love for her will never die Tell Laura I love her.....

Mike Berry Dear face that holds so sweet a smile for me Were you not mine, how dark this world would be I know no light above that could replace Love's radiant sunshine in your lovely face. Give me a smile, the love-light in your eyes Life could not hold a sweeter paradise Give me the right to love you all the while My world forever, the sunshine of your smile. Shadows may fall across the land and sea Sunshine from all the world may hidden be But I shall see no clouds across the sun Your smile shall light my life till life is done. Give me a smile, the love-light in your eyes Life could not hold a sweeter paradise Give me the right to love you all the while My world forever, the sunshine of your smile My world forever, the sunshine of your smile.

With my all time favourite. Bobby Vee ( Venus in blue jeans.) Tony Oz. She's Venus in blue jeans Mona Lisa with a ponytail She's a walkin' talkin' work of art She's the girl who stole my heart My Venus in blue jeans Is the Cinderella I adore She's my very special angel too A fairy tale come true They say there's seven wonders in the world But what they say is out of date There's no more seven wonders in the world I just met number eight My Venus in blue jeans Is ev'rything I hoped she'd be A teenage goddess from above And she belongs to me My Venus in blue jeans Is ev'rything I hoped she'd be A teenage goddess from above And she belongs to me Although, not the 60s, but who remembers this one from 1956-1959. Lyrics to Purple People Eater. Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky It had the one long horn, one big eye. I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee" It looks like a purple people eater to me. It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater. (one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater) A one-eyed one-horned, flyin' puple people eater Sure looks stange to me. (one eye?) Well he came down to earth and lit in a tree I said Mr. Purple People Eater don't eat me I heard him say in a voice so gruff I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me. (one horn?) I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine But that's not the reason that I came to land I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flying purple people eater. Pidgeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater (we wear short shorts) Flyin' purple people eater sure looks strange to me. And then he swung from the tree and lit on the ground. He started to rock, really rockin' around It was a crazy little ditty with a swingin' tune (sing aboop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom) Well, bless my soul, rock and roll flyin' purple people eater. Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple peopleeater. Flyin' little people eater Sure looks strange to me. (purple people?) And then he went on his way, and then what do you know. I saw him last night on a TV show. He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head. ( Tequila)

How about Jacque Loussier's "Air on a G-string". Remember the TV ad "You're never alone with a Strand" and that gorgeous lonely man smoking one! Also Marvin Gaye "I heard it on the Grapevine" - reminds me of my single days in the West End of London nightclubs.... Those were the days!! Kathy

The Shirelles - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow Tonight you're mine completely You give you love so sweetly Tonight the light of love is in your eyes But will you love me tomorrow? Is this a lasting treasure Or just a moment's pleasure? Can I believe the magic of your sighs? Will you still love me tomorrow? Tonight with words unspoken You say that I'm the only one But will my heart be broken When the night meets the morning sun? I'd like to know that your love Is love I can be sure of So tell me now, and I won't ask again Will you still love me tomorrow? So tell me now, and I won't ask again Will you still love me tomorrow?
