GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #354 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: "Title" (chart year) [peak Pop] {peak R&B} <xxx>...<yyy>
where:
"peak Pop" = Peak position achieved on the weekly Billboard Pop chart.
"peak R&B" = Peak position on the weekly Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart.
(Billboard didn't publish an R&B chart between 11/30/63 and 1/23/65,
so recordings in that interval show peak R&B of {n/c} ("no chart").)
"xxx",...,"yyy" = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any.

Note: B-side of "Guess Things Happen That Way." I have the 45, but I
forgot about the song until I heard it caught my attention as the opening song
on Ian & Silvia's great 1965 folk album,"Early Morning Rain."
The night is long

Nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again

Note: B-side to her #1 hit, "Everybody's Somebody's Fool"

Goin' to nowhere with no worry of time
Runnin' along chasin' after a train
Hummin' a song in the sun and the rain

Well, she got him on the sofa
Where he'd gone to take a snooze
And I hope he went to heaven
'Cause he wasn't wearing shoes
#20) Mitchell Trio, Chad: "Lizzie Bordan" (1962) [44] {-}
A rapture in blue
With the world far away
And your lips close to mine
#21) Platters, The: "My Prayer" (1956) [1] {1} <5><105><198>
I don't want to walk without you
Walking right by my side
It hurts me to see you talking
To any other guy

Tie-Breakers

Don't talk about her
She does the best she can
Don't talk about her
Don't talk about her
She just lost her man
#T1) Box, David: "If You Can't Say Something Nice" (1962) {-}
Note: Written by Roy Orbison, Joe Melson and Ray Rush. Roy gave it to David
to sing...great rendition that was played briefly in the Hartford area, but
somehow never made the local or Billboard charts. David died in a car crash
in 1964 and Roy himself recorded the song as the B-side of "Crawwling Back,"
in late 1965. In my opinion, if he released it as the A-side, he'd have had
another big hit.
Always out having fun
(Having so much fun)
With your heart on the run
(Always on the run)
Baby, come to me
(Come, come, come to me)
You and I were meant to be
#T2) Fleetwoods, The: "I Care So Much" (1959) {-}
Note: B-side of "Come Softly To Me"
