Denise, Denise,
Oh with your eyes so blue
Denise, Denise, I've got a crush on you
Denise, Denise, I'm so in love with you

Oh, when we walk,
It seems like paradise
Oh, when we talk
It always feels so nice
Denise, Denise,
I'm so in love with you


One of the last, great Doo-wop songs!

in reverse chronological order, the two "ours songs" in my life:

Leo Sayers:





and the 4 Tops:





Also really love Ben E. King:




and Righteous Brothers:



SO many more. You could actually just drag out the entire 1950s-60s ballad playlist and that would be "my favorite."

Not the original J Geils Band version, but the one in which Adam Sandler sings lead vocals in the movie 'The Wedding Singer'.

Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna face my world without you.

Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna lose your lasting love.

Never tell me goodbye,
I don't wanna live my life without you.

Never tell me goodbye,
I don't wanna see you walk away from me.

If I open up my heart
I can always find you there
So I'll never be apart from you
My heart is on my sleeve
And even though you started to
I hope you never leave,
Never leave, me alone.

(repeat)

Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna live my life without you.
Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna lose your lasting love.

Jackie is my all time favorite singer. What a voice he had and an amazing entertainer.

I have one more heart left and I'm passing it along to you.

Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet, A Time For Us preformed by Johnny Mathis




Dolly Parton I Will Always Love You


Dolly wrote this song and owns the rights. She refused an offer from The King, Elvis Presley to record this song. The way it worked for him was if he recorded it he would have bought the copy right. She didn't want to give that up. Good thing cause later a different singer covered her tune.
