Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #459
Recordings #01-25 were from 1955 through 1969
Due 5:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) on Wednesday, Apr. 30, 2025
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember how I couldn't wait
To get home and put it in a frame
#01)
Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took me astray
#02)
In my mind there's no sorrow
Don't you know that it's so
#03)
Got no dough
But just a nod gets the girls
#04)
I want you right here by my side
Hold me, hold me
And your love we won't hide
#05)
You sit there mesmerized
By the depth of her eyes
That you can't categorize
#06)
He opens up for business
When the clock strikes nine
He likes to get 'em early
#07)
You know it balances on your head
Just like a mattress balances
On a bottle of wine
#08)
Wanting you so badly
Needing you like this
How can I just look at
The lips that I used to kiss
#09)
Oh come back (come back)
Have me here (right here)
Hold me love (my love)
Be sincere
#10)
In the beginning of this world
There were men and women and boys and girls
#11)
You're the flame
Who set my soul on fire
I'm proud to have
A love that you inspire
#12)
I work for you baby
Work my hand to the bone
Care for you baby
Till the cows come home
#13)
Carrot trumpets play
Violets grow like peaches
In the sun all day
#14)
Someday maybe you'll be my girl
Hand in hand we walk
#15)
I've been yearning for a sweet embrace
Rub my hair till I'm a total disgrace
#16)
You've got all the boys
Standing in line
Tell me who do you love
#17)
Life is bringing you so down
You don't think you can make it
Every night is a showdown
Every day you just fake it
#18)
It's the Fourth of July
Been three years in January
Since I kissed her goodbye
#19)
You're such a thrill to kiss
Too much when you twist
#20)
She opens up her mouth as if to speak
She looks at me and I am weak
Her eyes they seem much bigger than before
#21)
Once your voice was music
Then the music turned to noise
You outgrew me
#22)
I'm gonna love you
With all my heart
Just hoping dear
That we'll never part
#23)
They say a broken heart
Don't mark the end of time
That there are lotsa girls
Who'd love to be just mine
#24)
Some wish to be a king or a queen
Some wish for fortune and fame
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
Oh please don't tell me if you're not real
Let me keep feeling the way I feel
#T1)
I said he told me violets were blue
I said he told me roses were red
#T2)
