I had the biggest crush on Brian Hyland back then - well, actually, later than that, when he did "Sealed with a Kiss."
OMG, I could *emote* over that song, singing it with such wailing and gnashing of teeth and teen angst.
*Though we've got to say good-bye ...
For the summer ...
Darling, I promise you this ...
I'll send you all my love, every day in a le-e-tter ...
Sealed with a kiss ...
Yes, it's gonna be a cold, lonely summer ...
But I'll feel (fill sounded like feel) the emptiness ...
I'll send you all my dreams ...
Every day in a le-e-tter ...
And seal it 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 su-u-mmer,
Knowing the love we'll miss ...
So, let us make a pledge to meet in Septe-e-mber ...
And seal it ... with a kiss ...
Sealed with a kiss ... sealed with a kiss ...*
*swoon* *thud*
Brian's "Gypsy Woman" was another terrific tune and I still listen to it on the computer.
Those were the days.
