-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I study the small things
You do constantly
I memorize moments that I'm fondest of
#01) Ed Ames: "My Cup Runneth Over" (1967) [8] {-}
JR: From the musical "I, Do! I Do!", written by Tom Jones (not that Tom
Jones) and Harvey Schmidt, the same guys who wrote The Fantasticks.
So everyone can see
That you belong to me
Just me
#02) Annette with the Afterbeats: "First Name Initial" (1959) [20] {27}
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world
#03) The Beach Boys: "Good Vibrations" (1966) [1] {-}
Must be the way she walks
A style made up to capture all she needs
No time to spend on this talk
#04) The Byrds: "Have You Seen Her Face" (1967) [74] {-}
He's got them pounding on the door
Got 'em begging for some more
And they call him whatever they choose

And when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat

Drove through the country
Showed them how a motor can go
#07) Paul Evans with The Curls: "Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Back Seat"
(1959) [9] {-}
TT: Whitburn lists The Curls as an ancillary note, not as
part of the main artist name. However, my original-label
45 is as above, with equal size type for Evans & Curls.
QM note: Gypsy's Caravan provided a picture of 45 that had Evans in Upper
Case, "and the Curls" in lower case and on the line below PAUL EVANS.
All alone in my room
All alone and so sad
I can dream of how I wanted us to be
Dreams I have are kinder that you could ever be
#08) Marianne Faithfull: "Go Away from My World" (1965) [89] {-}
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no, no
Everybody knows
I thought you knew
#09) The Fontane Sisters: "Hearts of Stone" (1955) [1] {-}
TT: Originally by The Charms was used previously.
No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much
#10) Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell: "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing"
(1968) [8] {-}
QM: Hard to believe this song didn't make the R&B charts,
but #2 and #14 did.
With a song in my heart
And a chance to be yours forever
I couldn't feel more secure
I know I couldn't feel any better
#11) The Grass Roots: "Heaven Knows" (1969) [24] {-}
Sister helped to trim the sail
#12) The Highwaymen: "Michael" (1961) [1] {-}
I went down the road
The road was muddy
I stubbed my toe
My toe was a-hurtin'
#13) Bunker Hill: "Hide & Go Seek, Part 1" (1962) [33] {27}
It's not very cherry
It's an oldie but a goodie
#14) Jan & Dean: "Surf City" (1963) [1] {3}
We'll have a ball when a-school is through
I'll find a million things that we can do
At the beach, we'll have a real good time
I'll show you off 'cause you're mine, all mine
#15) Little Willie John: "(I've Got) Spring Fever" (1961) [71] {25}
Looking like a fool
Left behind by you
There was I

Whenever you are all alone
Need some company
You always turn to me

How'd you like to be a star?
You're a girl that could go far
'Specially dressed the way you are
#19) Peter And Gordon: "Lady Godiva" (1966) [6] {-}
Twist it
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it baby
Here we go loop-de-loop
#20) James and Bobby Purify: "Shake a Tail Feather" (1967) [25] {15}
There's never any place we ever want to go
We'd rather snuggle up and watch the late, late show
We like to make the hours last
But forty-eight hours go fast
#21) Diane Renay: "Kiss Me Sailor" (1964) [29] {-}
'Cause i got my pride
Old kid's gonna hold his head up high
Nothin' like you and me
Victims of poverty
#22) The Royal Guardsmen: "Baby Let's Wait" (1968) [35] {-}

It's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning
Just one of the clues

Like the sun up from the hills

Tie-breakers:
------------
The first time I was ever kissed
The very first person I did miss
The first time I said goodbye
The first time I felt I'd die
the first time I felt shame
The first time I was to blame
If I had one wish I'd ask to relive
#T1) Jackie DeShannon: "Splendor in the Grass" (1966) [-] {-}
GC: B-side of Come and Get Me (#83)
Someday, when you're older
And your future has passed
You will find that your beauty
And your loveliness won't last
When the traces of time
Show in every line
