20 All Time Greatest Hits

Bobby Vinton 20 All Time Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.Roses are Red

A long, long time ago, on graduation day,
You handed me your book, I signed this way.
Roses are red, my love, violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love, but not as sweet as you.

We dated through high school, and when the big day came,
I wrote into your book, next to your name.
Roses are red, my love, violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love, but not as sweet as you.

Then I went far away and you found someone new.
I read your letter dear, and I wrote back to you.
Roses are red, my love, violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love, good luck - may God bless you.

Is that your little girl? She looks a lot like you.
Someday some boy will write in her book, too.
Roses are red, my love, violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love, but not as sweet as you.


2.Blue Velvet

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of
Blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears


3.Mr.Lonely

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I am so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone

Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home

Letters, never a letter
I get no letters I the mail
I've been forgotten, yes, forgotten

4.Blue On Blue

(Chorus):
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue now that we are through
Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
And I find I can't get over losing you

I walk along the street we used to walk
Two by two, lovers pass
And as they're passing by, I could die
'cause you're not here with me
Now the trees are bare
There's sadness in the air
And I'm as blue as I can be

(chorus)

Night after lonely night, we meet in dreams
As I run to your side
You wait with open arms, open arms
That now are closed to me
Through a veil of tears
Your vision disappears
And I'm as blue as I can be

(repeat chorus and fade)


5.Please Love Me Forever

Please love me forever
Don't forget me ever
Just listen to my plea
Please don't stop loving me

You're in my dreams nightly
Don't take my love lightly
Begging on bended knee
Please don't stop loving me

Oh, when I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord your love I'll keep
If I should die before I wake
I'll come back for you
That's no mistake

Oh, I'll love you forever
Can't forget you ever
Our love was meant to be
Please don't stop loving me

I'll love you forever
Can't forget you ever
Our love was meant to be
Please don't stop loving me


6.I Love How You Love Me

I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me. (love how you
love me)

I love how your heart beats whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me (love how you
love me)

I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
and when I'm away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me (love how you
love me)

I love how you hug me (love how you hug me)
I love how you squeeze me, tease me, please me
Love --- how you love me
I love how you love me.


7.My Heart Belongs To Only You

My heart belongs to only you
I've never loved as I love you
You've set a flame within me burning
A flame to stay within me yearning
It's just for you I want to live
It's just to you my heart I give
I'll always be your slave my darling
Through the coming years

There were sometimes when I was doubtful
Of this new love affair
But now my mind is no more doubtful
I've found my heaven with the help of a prayer

You are the song within my soul
A melody that can't grow old
I've known for long
My heart belongs to only you

You are the song within my soul
A melody that can't grow old
I've known for long
My heart belongs to only you


8.Coming Home Soldier


9.Rain Rain Go Away

I can still remember
When you moved in next door
I brought you some choc'late
From the corner candy store
When it started raining
You started crying too
That was the first time
I sang this song to you

Rain rain go away
Come again some other day
Rain rain go away
Bring my love a sunny day

We grow up together
And as the years went by
Ev'rybody knew that we were
Sweethearts you and I
Through many april showers
I held your hand in mine
Between the raindrops
We sang time after time

Rain rain go away
Come again some other day
Rain rain go away
Bring my love a sunny day

I went away to college
You said you'd wait for me
Then I got your letter
Asking me to set you free
Tomorrow you'll me married
There's nothing I can do
But wish you sunshine
Now and you whole life through

Rain rain go away
Tomorrow is her wedding day
Rain rain go away
Bring my love a sunny day


10.Clinging Vine


11.There I've Said It Again

I love you, there's nothing to hide,
It's better than burning inside,
I love you, no use to pretend
There I've said it again

I've said it, what more can I say,
Believe me, there's no other way,
I love you, I will to the end,
There I've said it again.

I try to drum up,
A phrase that will sum up,
All that I feel for you,
But what good are phrases,
The thought that amazes,
Is that you love me,
And it's heavenly.

Forgive me for wanting you so,
But one thing I want you to know,
I've loved you since heaven knows when,
There I've said it again.


12.Sealed With A Kiss

Lyrics:Gary Geld/Peter Udell
Music:Gary Geld/Peter Udell

'Tho we gotta say goodbye for the summer
Darling I promise you this
I'll send you all my love every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss
Guess it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness
I'll send you all my Dream every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss
I'll see you in the sunlight
I'll hear your voice everywhere
I'll run to tenderly hold you
But darling you won't be there
I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
Oh let us make a pledge to meet in September
And seal it with a kiss
Guess it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness
I'll send you all my love every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss


13.Over the Mountain(Across The Sea)

Lyrics:Rex Garvin
Music:Rex Garvin

INTRO
Over the mountain
Across the sea
There's a girl, she's waiting for me

Cross over the river, beyond ev'ry clou-oud
She's passed the wind that's blowing loud
Over the mountain, a girl waits for me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee

Tell all the sands and ev'ry blade of gra-ass
Please tell the wind to let my love pa-ass
Over the mountain, a girl waits for me-ee-ee-ee-ee

Tell the moon up in the sky
Tell the birds that fly-y by
That over and over and over the mountain
My love waits for me

Into each dark and starry night
Oh, what a myst'ry that's sealed so tight
Over the mountain, a girl waits for me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee

Wah, wah-ooh, wah-ooh
Wah, wah-ooh, wah-ooh
FADE
Wah, wah-ooh, wah-ooh


14.L-O-N-E-L-Y

Lonely Lonely
The 'L' is for the laughter, we shared from the start
'O' is for the only girl in my heart
The 'N' is for the night, you told me we were through
For you had found somebody new
'E' is for the end of my world, a place I shared with only you
empty, my world is dark
Loneliness has just begun
The 'L' is for the love that was meant for me only
And 'Y' why did you leave me lonely. Lonely


15.Halfway To Paradise

I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I've stayed
I'm only halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away

I long for your lips to kiss my lips
But just when I think they may
You lead me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away, mmm

Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so

Put your sweet lips close to my lips
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Mmm, so near, yet so far away

Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
FADE
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away


16.Satin Pillows

Lyrics:B.Tubert/S.James
Music:B.Tubert/S.James

Satin pillows to cry on
Satin pillows to cry on
You've got nothing else to rely on
You gave up the most precious thing in life
You turned from love to be a rich man's wife
The man you married is colder than all his gold
You're something he bought to keep from growing old

Now you've got satin pillows to cry on
Satin pillows tro cry on
You've got nothing else to rely on
And you've got fancy dresses and big cars
Diamonds that outshine the brightest stars
But diamonds can't replace the love we knew
They won't keep you warm like my arms used to
Now you've got satin pillows to cry on
Satin pillows to cry on
You've got nothing else to rely on
Satin pillows to cry on
Satin pillows to cry on.


17.Take Good Care Of My Baby

Lyrics:Gerry Goffin/Carole King
Music:Gerry Goffin/Carole King

My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so
There's something that I've gotta say

Take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do-o-o-o

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y
Just let your love surround her
Paint a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky

Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you

So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me


Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
FADE
Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by


18.To Know You Is To Love You

Why can't you see?
Oh, how blind can you be?

To know, know, know you
Is to love, love, love you
Just to see you smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know you
Is to love, love, love you
And I do, yes I do, yes I do

I'll be good to you
And I'll bring love to you
Oh, everyone says there'll come a day
When I'll walk along side of you
And to know, know, know you
Is to love, love, love you
And I do, yes I do, yes I do

Why can't you see?
Oh, how blind can you be?
Someday you'll see
That you were meant for me

To know, know, know you
Is to love, love, love you
Just to see you smile
Makes my life worth while
To know, know, know you
Is to love, love, love you
And I do, yes I do, yes I do
And I do, yes I do, yes I do
Yes I do


19.Just As Much As Ever

Written:Larry Coleman/Charles Singleton

Just as much as ever
I need you and want you to be here
Just as much as ever
I love you, and always will, my dear

Even though we two are parted
My feelings for you never drop
For loving you is something I started
And don't know how to stop

Just as much as ever
I'm hoping that you'll be mine again
Darlin', 'cause I'll never be satisfied till then
For I am still the same old me
With the same old love for you
Just as much as ever, my heart beats for you

(Just as much as ever)
(I'm hoping that you'll be mine again)
Darling, 'cause I'll never be satisfied till then
For I am still the same old me
With the same old love for you
Just as much as ever, my heart beats for you


20.Let's Kiss and Make Up

Last night we had a quarrel
And I lost my head
How silly of me to say
The things I said

Let's kiss and make up
Why should we break up
Say it's not too late yet
To forgive and forget

Funny but it doesn't matter now
Who was wrong or right
Darling all that matters now
Is that I miss you tonight

Let's kiss and make up
Why should we break up
Say it's not too late yet
To forgive and forget

'Cause I'd do anything
To be with you again

Let's kiss and make up
Why should we break up
Say it's not too late yet
To forgive and forget
