The Chordettes - Mr. Sandman - 1954
updated
With tender looks that I mistook for love
So, take away the flowers that you gave me
And send the kind that you remind me of
Paper roses, paper roses
Oh, how real those roses seem to be
But, they're only imitation
Like your imitation love for me
I thought that you would be a perfect lover
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
But, like a big red rose that's made of paper
There isn't any sweetness in your heart
Paper roses, paper roses
Oh, how real those roses seem to be
But, they're only imitation
Like your imitation love for me
Like your imitation love for me
To blame for all the wrong that you
have done
The day that you walked out and left,
didn't say goodbye
Who was home alone to sit and cry ?
It was I, It was I
I gave you all the love I ever had
The only things I got from you were bad
The times you didn't show up, the times
you didn't call
Who was left alone through it all ?
It was I, It was I
My love was always yours to treasure
and to hold
But when you let a love grow idle it will
soon grow cold
Temptation is too strong to hide
Are you really satisfied ?
With my love the way it is
Let me tell you how it is
Please come back and try to start anew
I know that it's the proper thing to do
Darling, if you make up, I know we'll
never break up
Then, I know it's only me and you
Me and you
smile at me
Well, well I know our love will
always be
When, when you kiss, when you
kiss me right
I, I don't want to ever say good night
I need you
I want you near me
I love you
Yes, I do and I hope you hear me
When, when I say, when I say "Be mine"
If, if you will I know all will be fine
When will you be mine ?
Oh Baby, I need you
I want you near me
I love you
Yes, I do and I hope you hear me
When, when you smile, when you
smile at me
Well, well I know our love will
always be
When, when you kiss, when you
kiss me right
I, I don't want to ever say good night
I need you
I want you near me
I love you
Yes, I do and I hope you hear me
When, when I say, when I say "Be mine"
If, if you will I know all will be fine
When will you be mine ?
needed you so
And if I had the chance,
I'd never let you go
So, won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads
every place we go
So, won't you please
Be my little Baby
Say you'll be my darling
Be my Baby now
I'll make you happy Baby,
just wait and see
For every kiss you give me,
I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you
'til eternity
So, come on and please
Be my little Baby
Say you'll be my darling
Be my Baby now
I held you, held you tight
'Cause I love, love you so
Promise I'll never let you go
In the still of the night
I remember that night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep your precious love
Well, before the light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night
So, before the light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to try
to earn a dollar
Everytime I call my Baby to try to
get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta
work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the
summertime blues
Well, my Mom and Papa told me,
"Son, you gotta make some money"
"If you want to use the car to go a-ridin'
next Sunday"
Well, I didn't go to work, told the boss I
was sick
"Now, you can't use the car 'cause you
didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the
summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have
a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the
United Nations
Well, I called my congressman and
he said ... quote:
"I'd like to help you son but you're too
young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the
summertime blues
a-Mary Lou
I mean the kind of a woman make
a fool outta you
She make a young man groan and
an old man pain
The way she took my money was a
cryin' shame
Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Kitty and she drove afar
Left me stranded in a-Kalamazoo
Makin' her a fortune off a fool like you
She got her a rich man, had a dozen kids
Drove that cat until he flipped his lid
Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Kitty and she drove afar
Well, she come back into town about a
week ago
Told me she was sorry that she hurt me so
I had a fifty-five Ford and a two dollar bill
The way she took that, man, it gave
me a chill
Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Kitty and she drove afar
Well, she jumped in my Kitty and she
drove afar
Then, I knew that I was a gonner
I've had it
Well, I've had it
When you say that I should phone
Then I do and there's nobody home
I've had it
Well, I've had it
When you say that you'll keep a date
Then you show up two hours late
I've had it
Well, I've had it
When you say that you love me, Honey
When you really need my money
I've had it
Well, I've had it
you feel
Tell me love is real
Words of love you whisper soft
and true
Darling, I love you
Let me hear you say the words
I want to hear
Darling, when you're near
Words of love you whisper soft
and true
Darling, I love you
Goin' faster than a rollercoaster
Love like yours will surely come
my way
A-hey, a-hey, hey
Everyday it's a-gettin' faster
Everyone said "Go out and ask her"
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey, hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Everyway loves a little stronger
Come my what may
Do you ever long for true love from me ?
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a rollercoaster
Love like yours will surely come
my way
A-hey, a-hey, hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Everyway loves a little stronger
Come my what may
Do you ever long for true love from me ?
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a rollercoaster
Love like yours will surely come
my way
A-hey, a-hey, hey
Love like yours will surely come
my way

in my memory ?
Piddle dee pat, I know that new love

Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
The old hooty-owl hooty-hoos to the dove
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
Does my lover feel what I feel when he
comes near ?
My heart beats so joyfully
You'd think that he could hear
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreamin' of
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy, Tammy, can't let him go
The breeze from the bayou keeps
murmurin' low
Tammy, Tammy, you love him so
When the night is warm, soft and warm
I long for his charms
I'd sing like a violin if I were in his arms
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreamin' of
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
stars in your eyes
They say to me that there'll never be
No other love like you for me
A thousand stars in the sky make
me realize
You are the one love that I'll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you're mine once more
(Once more, once more)
Each night I count the stars in the sky
Hoping that you aren't telling me lies
You're with me tonight
I'm captured by your charms
Oh, pretty Baby, won't you hold me in
your arms ?
A thousand stars in the sky make
me realize
You are the one love that I'll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you're mine once more
(Once more, once more)
Each night I count the stars in the sky
Hoping that you aren't telling me lies
You're with me tonight
I'm captured by your charms
Oh, pretty Baby, won't you hold me in
your arms ?
A thousand stars in the sky make
me realize
You are the one love that I'll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you're mine once more
I'm yours
Will you be mine ?
My darling Dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
Earth Angel, Earth Angel
The one I adore
Love you for ever and ever more
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
I fell for you, and I knew
The vision of your lov-lovliness
I hoped and I prayed that someday
I'll be the vision of your hap-happiness
Earth Angel, Earth Angel
Please be mine
My darling Dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
I fell for you, and I knew
The vision of your lovliness
I hoped and prayed that someday
That I'll be the vision of your happiness
Earth Angel, Earth Angel
Please be mine
My darling Dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love
For, only you
Only you can make this change in me
For it's true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you
Only you can make this change in me
For it's true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you
One and only you
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot
be denied
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So, I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet, today my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling,
'tis twilight time
When purple-colored curtains mark
the end of day
I'll hear you, my Dear, at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor
as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender
the setting sun
I count the moments Darling 'til you're
here with me
Together at last, at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
And in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me
like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me
with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be
with you
Together at last, at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
And in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me
like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me
with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be
with you
Together at last, at twilight time
Together at last, at twilight time
And no songbirds are singing
When the twilight is gone
You come into my heart
And here in my heart you will stay
While I pray
My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day
In a dream that's divine
My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away
And your lips close to mine
Tonight, while our hearts are aglow
Oh, tell me the words
That I'm longing to know
My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same
For as long as we live
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys
And don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
'Cause, you don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So, just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
And don't tell me what to do
Oh, don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So, just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
is almost over
Will you become a summer rover ?
Or, will you still be my girl ?
Classmate, will this parting bring us
sorrow ?
Was my ring a thing you'd borrowed ?
Just to set my heart awhirl
You stole my heart, now whatcha
gonna do ?
Wear my ring, start anew ?
Let me down, oh, make me blue ?
Classmate, when September comes
around again
Will you be more than just an old friend ?
Or, will vacations prove we're through ?
You stole my heart, now whatcha
gonna do ?
Wear my ring, start anew ?
Let me down, oh, make me blue ?
Classmate, do I spend the summer
waiting ?
Waiting, wondering and debating ?
If I stand a chance with you
If I stand a chance with you
Oh, clap your hands if you can
You've got the rhythm in your feet
Now, clap your hands to get the beat
Clap your hands, clap your hands
You've danced the Bop and done
the Stroll
The Conga-rock is getting old
Now, clap your hands right through
the dance
The beat will put you in a trance
Clap your hands, clap your hands
Now, gather 'round and listen close
This is the dance that is the most
Oh, face to face you gotta stand
To get the big beat from the band
Clap your hands, clap your hands
You've got the beat, you're in the groove
Now, grab your chick and start to move
This isn't just-a rockin' roll
This is a dance for young and old
Clap your hands, clap your hands
Don't go away
Let's get together once again
This is the way to make a friend
Oh, if you're ever feeling blue
This is advice I give to you
Clap your hands, clap your hands
peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful
and you're mine
You're all ribbons and curls,
ooh what a girl
Eyes that twinkle and shine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful
and you're mine
You're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand,
my heart went pop
And ooh, when we kissed we
could not stop
You walked out of my dreams,
into my arms
Now you're my angel divine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful
and you're mine
A-well, you're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand,
my heart went pop
And ooh, when we kissed we
could not stop
You walked out of my dreams,
into my arms
Now you're my angel divine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful
and you're mine
Well, you're sixteen, you're beautiful
and you're mine
Dreamin', love will be mine
Searchin', I'm always searchin'
Hopin', someday I'll find
Someone, someone to love me
Someone who needs me
But, until then
Well, I'll keep on dreamin'
Keep right on dreamin'
Dreamin', 'til my dreamin' comes true
Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'
Dreamin', love will be mine
Searchin', I'm always searchin'
Hopin', someday I'll find
Someone, someone to love me
Oh, someone who needs me
But, until then
Well, I'll keep on dreamin'
Keep right on dreamin'
Dreamin', 'til my dreamin' comes true
I stood a-watchin' all night long
I stood a-watchin' 'til you went away
You were a girl of a-many charms
Oh, how I loved you in my arms
I never thought that you would ever go
'Cause I loved you so
Oh, Susie Darlin', I thought you knew
You were all the world to me
All my dreams come true
I stood a-cryin' all night long
I stood a-cryin' all night long
Cryin' and wishin' you'd come back to me
Thinkin' of all the dreams we knew
Now that you're gone they won't come true
My heart is empty without you
Nothin' there but misery
Now, I stand a-watchin' all night long
I stand a-watchin' all night long
Knowin' that life had nothing left for me
I'll wait around most patiently
Hopin' you will return to me
'Til that happy day I will always be
watchin' all night long
Oh, Susie Darlin', I thought you knew
You were all the world to me
All my dreams come true
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight, the light of love is in your eyes
But, will you love me tomorrow ?
Is this a lasting treasure ?
Or just a moments pleasure ?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs ?
Will you still love me tomorrow ?
Tonight, with words unspoken
You said that I'm the only one
But, will my heart be broken ?
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So, tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow ?
So, tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow ?
Will you still love me tomorrow ?
Oh, my little Soldier Boy
I'll be true to you
You were my first love
And you'll be my last love
I will never make you blue
I'll be true to you
In this whole world
You can love but one girl
Let me be that one girl
For, I'll be true to you
Wherever you go
My heart will follow
I love you so
I'll be true to you
Take my love with you
To any port or foreign shore
Darling, you must feel for sure
I'll be true to you
Soldier Boy
Oh, my little Soldier Boy
I'll be true to you
Darling, we're the young ones
And young ones shouldn't be afraid
To live, love
While the flame is strong
'Cause we may not be the young
ones very long
Tomorrow, why wait until tomorrow ?
'Cause tomorrow sometimes never
comes
So, love me
There's a song to be sung
And the best time is to sing it while
we're young
Once in every lifetime, comes a love
like this
Oh, I need you and you need me
Oh, my Darling can't you see ?
Young dreams should be dreams together
And young hearts shouldn't be afraid
And some day
When the years have flown
Darling, then we'll teach the young ones
of our own
Once in every lifetime, comes a love
like this
Oh, I need you and you need me
Oh, my Darling can't you see ?
Young dreams should be dreams together
And young hearts shouldn't be afraid
And some day
When the years have flown
Darling, then we'll teach the young ones
of our own
I belong
Where the days are short and
the nights are long
Where they walk, and I'll walk
They twist, and I'll twist
They shimmy, and I'll shimmy
They fly, and I'll fly
Well, they're out there a-havin' fun
In their warm California sun
Well, I'm goin' out west out on
the coast
Where the California girls are really
the most
Where they walk, and I'll walk
They twist, and I'll twist
They shimmy, and I'll shimmy
They fly, and I'll fly
Well, they're out there a-havin' fun
In their warm California sun
Well, the girls are frisky in old Frisco
A pretty little chick wherever you go
And they'll walk, and I'll walk
They'd twist, and I'll twist
They twist, and I'll twist
They'll shimmy, and I'll shimmy
They'll fly, and I'll fly
Well, they're out there a-havin' fun
In their warm California sun
Yeah, they're out there a-havin' fun
In their warm California sun
You're not a kid anymore
When people ask of me
"What would you like to be now
that you're not a kid anymore ?"
You're not a kid anymore
I know just what to say
I answer right away
There's just one thing I've been
wishing for
I wanna be Bobby's girl
I wanna be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing
to me
And if I was Bobby's girl
If I was Bobby's girl
What a faithful, thankful girl I'd be
Each night I sit at home hoping
that he will phone
But, I know Bobby has someone else
You're not a kid anymore
Still in my heart I pray there soon
will come a day
When I will have him all to myself
I wanna be Bobby's girl
I wanna be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing
to me
And if I was Bobby's girl
If I was Bobby's girl
What a faithful, thankful girl I'd be
What a faithful, thankful girl I'd be
I wanna be Bobby's girl
I wanna be Bobby's girl
Happy Birthday, Baby !

Walking along, just feeling glad
Singin' a song, I won't be sad
Whoa, happy day
I'm just walking along
When I'm walking, feel just like a king
When I'm singing, I don't care 'bout a thing
The reason I feel the way I do
You love me, whoa, I love you
Walking along, my merry way
Singin' a song, I will be gay
Whoa, happy day
I'm just walking along
When I'm walking, feel just like a king
When I'm singing, I don't care 'bout a thing
The reason I feel the way I do
You love me, whoa, I love you
Walking along, just any way
Singin' a song, I will be gay
Whoa, happy day
I'm just walking along
the day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter the day you
said no
And his silver turned to blue
Like him, I am doubtful that your
love is true
But if you decide to call on me
Ask for Mr. Blue
I'm Mr. Blue
When you say you love me
Then prove it by goin' out on
the sly
Provin' your love isn't true
Call me Mr. Blue
I'm Mr. Blue
When you say you're sorry
Then turn around headin' for the
lights of town
Hurtin' me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue
I stay at home at night
Right by the phone at night
But you won't call
And I won't hurt my pride
Call me Mister
I won't tell you
While you paint the town
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm paintin' it too
But I'm paintin' it blue
Call me Mr. Blue
Come softly, Darling
Come softly, Darling
Come softly, Darling
Come softly, Darling
Come to me, stay
You're my obsession
For ever and a day
I want, want you to know
I love, I love you so
Please hold, hold me so tight
All through, all through the night
I speak softly, Darling
Hear what I say
I love you always
Always, always
I've waited, waited so long
For your kisses and your love
Please come, come to me
From up, from up above
I need, need you so much
Wanna feel your warm, warm touch
Oh, my Darling don't you cry
Guardian angels up above
Take care of the one I love
Hushabye, Hushabye
Oh, my Darling don't you cry
Guardian angels up above
Take care of the one I love
Pillows lying on your bed
Oh, my Darling rest your head
Sandman will be coming soon
Singing you a slumber tune
Lullaby and goodnight
In your dreams I'll hold you tight
Lullaby and goodnight
'Til the dawns early light
Hushabye, Hushabye
Oh, my Darling don't you cry
Guardian angels up above
Take care of the one I love
stalled upon the railroad track
I pulled you out and we were safe
But you went running back
Teen Angel, can you hear me ?
Teen Angel, can you see me ?
Are you somewhere up above
and am I still your own true love ?
What was it you were looking for
that took your life that night ?
They said they found my high school
ring clutched in your fingers tight
Teen Angel, can you hear me ?
Teen Angel, can you see me ?
Are you somewhere up above
and am I still your own true love ?
Just sweet sixteen and now you're gone
They've taken you away
I'll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today
Teen Angel, Teen Angel
Answer me please
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents, and most of all a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So, to her mother, Tommy said :
"Tell Laura, I love her"
"Tell Laura, I need her"
"Tell Laura, I may be late"
"I've something to do that cannot wait"
He drove his car to the racing ground
He was the youngest driver there
The crowd roared as they started the race
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
No-one knows what happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath they heard him say :
"Tell Laura, I love her"
"Tell Laura, I need her"
"Tell Laura, not to cry"
"My love for her will never die"
Now in the chapel where Laura prays
For her Tommy who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry :
"Tell Laura, I love her"
"Tell Laura, I need her"
"Tell Laura, not to cry"
"My love for her will never die"
"Tell Laura, I love her"
"Tell Laura, I love her"
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have happiness
And I guess I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who'll care
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
to love, love, love him
Just to see him smile makes
my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him is
to love, love, love him
And I do
I'd be good to him, I'd bring love
to him
Everyone says there'll come a day
when I'll walk along side of him
Yes, yes, to know him is to love,
love, love him
And I do
Why can't he see, how blind can
he be ?
Someday he will see that he was
meant for me
Oh, oh yes
To know, know, know him is
to love, love, love him
Just to see him smile makes
my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him is
to love, love, love him
And I do
Yes, I do
I can't see anyone but you
Are the stars out tonight ?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you, Dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here and so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
alang-alang-alang
Boom, ba-doh,
ba-doo ba-dooba-bay
Oh, life could be a dream
If I could take you up in
paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the
only one that you love
Life could be a dream, Sweetheart
Hello, hello again, sh-boom and
hopin' we'll meet again
Oh, life could be a dream
If only all my precious plans would
come true
If you would let me spend my whole
life lovin' you
Life could be a dream, Sweetheart
Now every time I look at you
something is on my mind
If you do what I want you to,
Baby, we'd be so fine
Oh, life could be a dream
If I could take you up in
paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the
only one that you love
Life could be a dream, Sweetheart
Sh-boom, sh-boom,
ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da
Sh-boom sh-boom,

If you do what I want you to,
Baby, we'd be so fine
Life could be a dream

paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the
only one that you love
Life could be a dream, Sweetheart
Hello, hello again, sh-boom and

Hey nonny ding-dong,

Boom, ba-doh,

Life could be a dream
Life could be a dream, Sweetheart
Life could be a dream
If only all my precious plans would
come true
If you would let me spend my whole
life loving you
Life could be a dream, Sweetheart
Dee-ooo-eee-ooo
