eddie holman, “this can’t be true,”
from; This Can’t be True, 1966
The star of this 1966 Cameo-Parkway record — kind of a cross between doo-wop and early Philadelphia soul — is the incredible voice of Eddie Holman. The guy in the song can’t believe his lucky stars — pinch me, I’m dreaming — and the voice, intoxicated by love, breaks free of reality and soars above — way, way above.

“This can’t be true, girl
Your love for me, girl
Just yesterday you saw me walking home
You took my hand and asked me to walk you home
And I felt good inside, sweetheart
I felt good inside, sweetheart
This can’t be true, girl
Are you for real, girl
Or am I dreaming dreams about you
Or am I dreaming dreams that can’t come true
Well I feel good inside, sweetheart
Oh-oh-oh
This can’t be true, girl
Your love for me, girl
Or am I dreaming dreams about you
Or am I dreaming dreams that can’t come true
Well, I feel good inside, sweetheart
Oh-oh-oh, I feel good inside, sweetheart
This can’t be true, girl
Your love for me, girl”
