skeeter davis, “things to you”
from: skeeter davis, she sings, they play, 1985
“Let me say things to you
You are a true dream come true
You are like the clear sky of blue
Let us be one plus one
Love that will never be done
A Love that’s always just begun
Let me say things to you
Words don’t always come out like I plan
This I think that you will understand
Let me say things to you
You are a true dream come true
You are like the clear sky o blue
Darlin, hold on, hold on for me”
Terry Adams of NRBQ
I am a newcomer to the wonderful world of NRBQ, but have fallen hard for what seems to be a simple pop earworm. I am particularly taken with the single notes solo at mid-recording. Skeeter Davis, who had her own country-music career married into the band and recorded this tune with them. A perfect marriage, it seems. Fair warning - if you listen more than twice, you're done for.
