Buddy Holly

(hardin / petty)
Every day, it's a-getting closer,
Going faster than a roller coaster.
Love like yours will surely come my way.

Every day, it's a a-getting faster.
Everyone says go ahead and ask her.
Love like yours will surely come my way.

Every day seems a little a longer.
Every way loves a little stronger.
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?

Every day, every day, every day ...

(words of love you whisper soft and true.
Darling, i love you.)

(listen to me to what i say.
Our hearts can be nearer each day
Hold me darling, please listen to me.)

(hardin / allison / petty)
Tell me how to keep your love.
You know how i need your love.
Tell me how you keep the love
Within your heart from me.

Don't you know that i love you?
Let me show why i'm true blue
When i know our love is true,
Don't keep your love from me.

If you would say to me today
The time for love is now,
Well could i sway your love my way,
Then i'd say 'tell me how.'

Heartbeat, why do you miss
When my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why does your love kiss
Stay in my memory?

Pittery-pat.
I know that new love thrills me.
I know that true love will be.

Heartbeat, why do you miss
When my baby kisses me?

Heartbeat, why do you skip
When my baby's lips meet mine?

Heartbeat, why do you flip
Then give me a skip each time?

Pittery-pat.
Sing to me love's story
Bring to me love's glory.

(holly / petty)
Maybe baby, i'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, i'll have you for me

It's funny honey, you don't care
You never listen to my prayer
Maybe baby, i'll have you for me

Well, you are the one that makes me glad
And you are the one that makes me sad
When someday you want me, oh well,
I'll be there, wait and see

(lee / ainsworth)
Well, if you see old annie give her a lift.
'cos annie's been working on the midnight shift.

Annie puts her hair upon her head
Paints them lips a bright, bright red
Wears that dress that fits real tight
Starts staying out to the middle of the night.
Says that her friends give her a lift.
Well, annie's been working on the midnight shift.

Well, she acts a little funny
Seems a little strange
Starts spending your money for a brand new thing
Tells you that she wants to use the car
Never explains what she wants it for
Brother, it ain't no if's
Well, annie's been working on the midnight shift

Early in the morning when the sun comes up
You look at old annie and she looks kinda rough.
You tell her "honey, get outa bed."
She says "leave me alone, i'm just about dead."
Brother, these ain't no if's
'cos annie's been working on the midnight shift

If you got a good mama that's stayin' at home
You better enjoy it 'cos it won't last long.
When you think everything's all right
She starts going 'round in the middle of the night.
Brother, there just ain't no if's
'cos annie's been working on the midnight shift
Brother, this ain't no if's
'cos annie's been working on the midnight shift, yeah.

(holly / petty / allison)
Think it over what you just said.
Think it over in your pretty little head.
Are you sure that i'm not the one?
Is your love real or only fun?
Think it over, just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.

Think it over and let me know.
Think it over and don't be slow.
Just remember all birds and bees
Go by two's through life's mysteries.
Think it over, yes just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.

Think it over (over and over).
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over, just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.

All right, all right.

Think it over and think of me.
Think it over and you will see
The happy day when you and i
Think as one and kiss the bkues goodbye.
Think it over, just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.

Chorus x2

(anka)
There you go and baby, here am i.
Well, you left me here so i could sit and cry.
Well, golly gee, what have you done to me?
I guess it doesn't matter any more.

Do you remember baby, last september
How you held me tight, each and every night?
Well, oh baby, how you drove me crazy.
I guess it doesn't matter any more

There's no use in me a-cryin'.
I've done everything and i'm sick of tryin'.
I've thrown away my nights,
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way and i'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time.
I'll find somebody new and baby, we'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore

(maudlin / petty / sullivan)
You're gonna say you miss me.
You're gonna say you kiss me.
Yes, you're gonna say you love me,
'cos i'm gonna love you, too.

I don't care what you told me.
You're gonna say you'll hold me.
Yes, you're gonna say you love me,
'cos i'm gonna love you, too.

After all, another fella took you,
But i still can't overlook you.
I'm gonna do my best to hug you
After all is said done.

Verse 1

Gonna love you, (you, too)
I'm gonna love you, too (love you, too)
Gonna love you, (you, too)
I'm gonna love you, too.

Verse 3

It's gonna happen someday.
You're gonna see things my way.
Yes, you're gonna say you love me,
'cos i'm gonna love you, too.

You're gonna tell me sweet things.
You're gonna make my heart sing.
Yes, you're gonna hear those bells ring,
'cos i'm gonna love you, too.

I'm gonna love you. i'm gonna love you.
I'm gonna love you, too.
I'm gonna love you. yes, i'm gonna love you.
I'm gonna love you, too.
I'm gonna love you. yes, i'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you, too.
