GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #443 (GOLQ443)
Welcome to GOLQ443, my Christmas gift to you.
There is no theme, but there should be enough hits to get you started to a good
score. The tie-breakers are loosely related and I rate them as relatively easy
for this quiz. And once again, Bob Bluestein has contributed a puzzler for your
amusement and enjoyment.
Good luck and enjoy! And Happy Holidays!

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #443
Recordings #01-25 were from 1956 through 1969
Due 5:00 PM EST (GMT-5) on Sunday, December 31, 2023
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
#01)
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
#02)
No more electric trains
No more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can't play the game of life to win
#03)
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
#04)
Looking through my window at the freshly fallen snow
That sparkles as it tumbles upon the street below
And the crackle of the fire is laughing in my ear
And the room is warm and sleepy
#05)
She would wait and a-wait and a-wait and a-wait
For her steady date
Now, my poor heart was broken
All of my life, where had she been
#06)
They all tell me
Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him
#07)
You took a colored ribbon from out of the sky
And taught me how to use it as the years went by
To tie up all your problems and make them look neat
And then to sell them to the people in the street
#08)
Those bragging words that you were mine
Of that there was no doubt
Sound empty now since half my life's walked out
#09)
It's a doggone shame my love for you
Makes all your lies seem true
Uh, if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger
#10)
Saw a man walking upside-down
My TV's on the blink
Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout
Sorry 'bout that
#11)
Two girls for every boy
#12)
Our love's our precious secret
A beautiful thing apart
There is no need for prying eyes
To look into my heart
#13)
Where is this someone, somewhere
Meant for me?
#14)
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
#15)
Where do all the hippies meet?
#16)
Hi diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
And on the way down, she met a turtle dove
Said, let's go rockin'
#17)
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
#18)
Every night I'm there
I'm always there, she knows I'm there
And heaven knows, I hope she goes
I find it hard to realize that love was in her eyes
It's dying now, she knows I'm crying now
And every night I'm there, I break my heart to please
#19)
One hundred men will test today
But only three win
#20)
Well, better listen girl to what I'm telling you
You better listen girl or we are through
You better stop all your foolin' around
Stop your runnin' all over town
#21)
They say that all good things must end someday
Autumn leaves must fall
#22)
As we stroll by the sea together
Under stars twinkling high above
#23)
That he used to sing to me
When our love was young and bright
As he held me tight
Suddenly, I found
I was heaven bound
#24)
It was late and snow was falling as the shoppers hurried by
Past the girlie at the window with her little head held high
They were closing up the toy shop as I hurried through the door
Just in time to buy the dolly that her heart was longing for
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
I know your leaving's too long overdue
For far too long, I've had nothing new to show to you
Goodbye dry eyes, I watched your plane
Fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange
To walk away alone
#T1)
Yes, we're different worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played
At the start, like in a game
You could have stayed, outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
#T2)
