Pat Boone Pat Boone's Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.Love Letters In The Sand

On a day like today
We passed the time away
Writing love letters in the sand

How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sand

You make a vow that you
Would ever be true
But somehow that vow
Meant nothing to you

Now my broken heart aches
With every way that breaks
Over love letters in the sand


2.April Love

April love
Is for the very young
Every star, a wishing star
That shines for you

April love
Is for the seven wonders
One little kiss can tell you
This is true

Sometimes an April day
Will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers
For her first bloom clad

But April love
Can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one
Don't let her run away

Sometimes an April day
Will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers
For her first bloom clad

But April love
Can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one
Don't let her run away


3.Remember Your Mine

Be faithful, darling
While you're away
For when it's Summer
A heart can stray

And though I miss you
Have a wonderful time
But remember darling
Remember you're mine

If you go dancing
And he holds you tight
And lips are tempted
On a Summer night

Your heart beats faster
When the stars start to shine
Just remember, darling
Remember you're mine

I'll be lonely
I'll be blue
But I promise
I'll be true

And though I'll miss you
Have a wonderful time
Just remember, darling
Remember you're mine
.


4.Moody River

Moody river more deadly
Than the vainest knife
Moody river your muddy water
Took my baby's life

Last Saturday evening
Came to the old oak tree
It stands beside the river
Where you were to meet me
On the ground your glove I found
With a note addressed to me
It read dear love I've done you wrong
Now I must set you free
No longer can I live with the hurt
And this sin
I just couldn't tell you
That guy was just friend

REPEAT

I looked into the muddy waters
And what could I see
I saw a lonely lonely face
Just looking back at me
Tears in his eyes
And a prayer on his lips
And the glove of his lost love
At his fingertips

REPEAT


5.I'll Be Home

I'll be home my darling
Please wait for me
We stroll along together
Once more our love will be free

At the corner drug store
Each Saturday we would meet
I walk you home in the moonlight
All of these things will repeat

So darling when I write this letter
It's hoping you are thinking of me
My mind makes up so long
Until I'll be home to start serving you

I'll be home my darling
Please wait for me
I walk you home in the moonlight
Once more our love will be free

(Speak)
Darling, as I write this letter
It's hoping you are thinking of me
My mind makes up so long
Until I'll be home to start serving you

I'll be home my darling
Please wait for me
I walk you home in the moonlight
Once more our love will be free


6.Speedy Gonzales

(Spoken)
It was a moonlit night in old Mexico
I walked alone between some old adobe haciendas
Suddenly I heard the plaintive cry
Of a young Mexican girl

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

You better come home, Speedy Gonzales
Away from Cannery row
Stop all of your drinking
With That floozy named 'Flo'
Come on home to your adobe
And slap some mud on the wall
The roof is leaking like a strainer
There's lots of roaches in the hall

Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales)
Why don't you come home?
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales)
How come you leave me all alone?

(Spoken)
Hey Rosital! I've to go shopping
Downtown for my mama
She needs some tortillas & chili peppers

Your doggys gonna have a puppy
And were running outta coke
No enchiladas in the icebox
And the televisions broke
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt
I smell some perfume in your ear
Well if you're gonna keep on messing
Don't bring your business back a-here

Mmm, Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales)
Why don't you come home?
Speedy Gonzales (Speedy Gonzales)
How come you leave me alone?

(Spoken)
Hey, Rosital lcome quick
Down at the cantina
They're giving freen stamps with tequila!!

La, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la


7.I Almost Lost My Mind

When I lost my baby (baby)
I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby (baby)
I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since she's left me behind

I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read
I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read
I hung my head in sorow when she said what she said

Well, I can tell you, people (people)
The news was not so good
Well, I can tell you, people (people)
The news was not so good
She said 'Your baby's left you'
'This time she's gone for good' (gone for good)

Bah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ooh


8.Don't Forbid Me

Don't forbid me to hold you tight
Darling, don't forbid me to hold you tight
Let me hold you in my loving arm
'Cause it's cold and I can keep you warm

Don't forbid me to kiss your lips
Darling, don't forbid me to kiss your lips
Let me kiss you, please baby please
'Cause it's cold and your lips might freeze

Well, there's a strong west wind a-blowing
And there's a big blue moon above
And pretty baby I'll be knowing
You need some heart-warming love

So don't forbid me to talk sweet talk
Darling, don't forbid me to talk sweet talk
Let me fill your little heart with fire
'Cause it's cold, so don't forbid my desire

It's so cold, so don't forbid my desire

10.Friendly Persuasion

Thee I love, more than the meadow so green and still
More than the mulberries on the hill
More than the buds of a May apple tree, I love thee

Arms have I, strong as the oak, for this occasion
Lips have I, to kiss thee too, in friendly persuasion

Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of praise
Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
Put on your bonnet, your cape, and your glove
And come with me, for thee I love

Priendly persuasion

Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of praise
Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
Put on your bonnet, your cape, and your glove
And come with me, for thee I love
