From the Platters to Elvis and Betty Lewis, each song is a classic favorite for a reason. Let Valentine’s Day be another reason then to enjoy these singers to the fullest!
Our top 5 Picks:
Only you can make all this change in me
For it’s true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do
You’re my dream come true, my one and only you
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Barbara Lewis, “Baby I’m Yours”
I’m gonna stay right here by your side
Do my best to keep you satisfied
Nothing in the world can drive me away
‘Cause every day you’ll hear me say
Baby I’m yours
Dusty Springfield, “I Only Want to Be with You”
Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we’re together, honey, I don’t care
‘Cause you started something, can’t you see
That ever since we met you’ve had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
The Supremes, “I Hear a Symphony”
Whenever you are near, I Hear A Symphony,
A tender melody pulling me closer, closer to your arms.
Then suddenly, oo, your lips are touching mine.
A feeling so divine ’til I leave the past behind.
I’m lost in a world made for you and me.
Mel Carter, “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me
Kiss me (kiss me), kiss me (kiss me)
And when you do, I’ll know that you
Will miss me (miss me), miss me (miss me)
If we ever say “Adieu”, so kiss me, kiss me
Make me tell you I’m in love with you
Earth angel, earth angel
Will you be mine?
My darling dear
Love you all the time
I’m just a fool
A fool in love with you
