GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #464 (GOLQ464)
Hi folks. It's Will again, with another quiz. This one should be easier than my
previous one. There is a theme of sorts in this quiz that includes all 27 songs,
something they all have in common, but I'll give you some clues: The theme does
not involve lyrics, artists, or song titles; both tie-breakers are "bubbling
under" songs; and the theme can be seen to have something to do with me as well.
A few of the songs haven't been used in a GOLQ before, but I put in what I think
are a few "gimmes".
Enjoy!

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz
Recordings #01-25 were from 1955 through 1969
Due 5:00 P.M. EDT (GMT-4) on Tuesday, Sep. 30, 2025
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right or wrong
Black and white
Weak and strong
#01)
My nights, they leave me blue (are so blue)
I don't know why there are tears in my eyes
Can it mean that I'm still in love with you?
#02)
'Neath the shadow
Of her soothing hand
I am free there
Just to make my plan
#03)
That lonesome feeling all the time
Knowing you could not be mine
Dreams that haunt me in my sleep
#04)
A lot of bread and gangs of meat
Oodles of butter and somethin' sweet
#05)
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
#06)
Why was I such a fool
I broke each golden rule
#07)
The carpet may be old
The room so plain and bare
And yet it's beautiful somehow
#08)
I know there is gonna come a day
He will tell her, 'Girl, be on your way"
Maybe then he'll turn to me
#09)
He may send you flowers, baby, every single day
Buy you fancy clothes from Paris
And have sweet things to say
#10)
Doggin' me every day
But child I'm here to stay
#11)
I'd rather be lonely, I'd rather be blue
Yes I'd rather spend my whole life without you
Than feather a nest to be shattered apart
#12)
We'll have love so fine
Magic moments divine
If you'll just say you're mine
#13)
To start a fire
Deep within my heart
Then let it go out like a light
#14)
It may be just the spell of evening
I long to hold you tight
Heaven is near, why think of tomorrow
#15)
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turn to ashes
#16)
While you're away
Oh Ben, remember me
When you return
You'll find me waiting here
#17)
I know you're no good for me baby
But I keep tramping around
Tracking you all over town
#18)
No one will ever know
How much I love you so
#19)
Though our love is dead and gone
In my heart it still lives on and on
Feel like some poor dyin' swan
#20)
Mmmm I got a letter today
And cried with every word she had to say
I was so hurt, shamed, and disgraced
#21)
Once a little boy
Sat upon his daddy's knee
With picture and crayons in his hand
#22)
Why pretty baby can't you understand
That I wanna be your lovin' man
Gonna love you, pretty baby, with all my heart
#23)
When the father and the mother
Fight all the time
Even the sisters and the brothers
No time to rhyme
#24)
Angels above are singing of our love
And they say you're the one I adore
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
If anyone knows the loving I dig
If anyone can make me jump off the Tallahassee Bridge
If anyone got the sweet Loving I want
Throw it on me stronger and keep me at home
#T1)
I was young and acted foolishly
Broke her heart, caused us to part
Once upon a time
#T2)
