Born in Trinidad & Tobago on January 21, 74 years ago. He moved to England when he was 10 years old. And a star rose up and thrilled the world with great songs. From disco style ,"Caribbean Queen" and "When The Going Gets Tough", to some of the most beautiful ballads sung and recorded in the modern era. Tunes like "Suddenly", "Lover Boy", "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry), "Love Zone" and many, many more. This made Billy, England's biggest selling Black artist ever. Billy continues to thrill audiences with his performances even today. For the Valentine season we've chosen one of his most beautifully sung hits, "There'll Be Sad Songs." Like all of his songs, this one is backed by a full ensemble of musicians. Violins and all. Enjoy.
There'll Be Sad Songs
Sometimes I wonder by the look in your eyes
When I'm standing beside you
There's a fever burning deep inside
Is there another in your memory?
Do you think of that someone
When you hear that special melody?
I always stop to think of you especially
When the words of a love song
Touch the very heart of me
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying, "I love you."
(I love you)
I often wonder how it could be you loving me
Two hearts in perfect harmony
I'll count the hours until that day (until that day)
A rhapsody plays a melody for you and me
Until that moment that you give your love to me
You're the one that I care for
The one that I would wait for
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying, "I love you"
( I love you)
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying, "I love you"
You're my desire you take me higher
You take me higher
My love is like a river running so deep
I'll always stop to think of you especially
When the words of a love song
Touch the very heart of me
There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying, " I love you"
(I love you)
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, saying, "I love you"
I love you.
